Known for signature harmonies, infectious humor and their electric onstage chemistry, BETTY is the award-winning, trailblazing indie-pop trio who have energized audiences worldwide since 1986. In four decades of concerts on all but one continent, sisters Elizabeth Ziff, Amy Ziff and Bestie Alyson
Palmer continue to inspire audiences with the power of music, love, laughter and the ongoing importance of finding harmony no matter what challenges arise. Just last year, BETTY performed at World Pride 2025 in DC with Cynthia Erivo and Doechii; celebrated the release of their well-reviewed 11th album, EAT; embarked on a sold-out tour with Kate Pierson of the B-52’s; and had their global smash hit theme song for the groundbreaking Showtime series, The L Word noted by TV Guide as a record-holder by being the first in American history to include the word “f*cking.” Along with placing a hundred other songs and music for television, films, commercials and web series, BETTY continues their non-stop equality activism with The BETTY Effect, a non-profit created upon the suggestion of their friend and mentor, Gloria Steinem, to help raise awareness and resources on behalf of women and girls’ rights worldwide. Named Stonewall Ambassadors for their passionate support of the global LGBTQ+ community, BETTY has received numerous arts and humanitarian honors for their lifelong musical mission, including two EMMYs, BMI
Career Excellence Awards and the Official State Honor of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
For 40 years, the name “BETTY” has been written in all capitals to illustrate a woman standing alone without the need of a father’s or husband’s name for support.
