Bette & Wallet - Voici...

No Video
Bette & Wallet are Mary Beth Carty from Antigonish County, Nova Scotia, and Gabriel Ouellette from Portneuf County, Québec. They make recycled music, a culturally-ecological artform designed to combat cultural-imperialism one sing-along at a time. Putting contemporary lyrics to old melodies, Bette & Wallet sing of Squeegee Kids, Haunted Condos, and Walmart in a call-and-response song style. They draw on sounds from their respective homelands, as well as from Klezmer, Cajun, and Irish traditions, add a little of their progressive rock and country influences, and Voila! A musical patchwork you can dance to is created! CBC's Tom Power recently reported, “It's an incredible, incredible live performance like you've never seen before.” Their home-recorded, independently-released debut album Voici... Bette & Wallet earned them nominations at the Canadian Folk Music Awards, the ECMAs, and invitations to festivals in France. Bette & Wallet are currently composing and recording their sophmore album.
