Bet Williams & Laurelyn Dossett on The Patio
Laurelyn Dossett and Bet Williams are celebrating the release of new albums this year — and the revival of a decades-long friendship that began as college roommates at Penn State in the 1980s. Between classes and late-night rehearsals, they each carved out their own musical paths in the college club scene. Though music often filled their shared living room, they never formally performed together — until now.
At long last, these two celebrated singer-songwriters join forces on stage, performing their own songs and adding their voices and instruments to each other’s for an evening of new works, shared history, and harmonies that only time and friendship can create.
