BettySoo, Stephen Doster, and Casper Rawls trade songs in an acoustic session.
BettySoo plays H-E-B Lake Austin on Wednesday, August 26, and it's not a standard headline set. She's sharing the stage with Stephen Doster and Casper Rawls, and the three of them will be trading songs throughout the evening. There's no cover for this one, so you can just walk in.
If you're not familiar with her, BettySoo is an Austin songwriter working across Americana, country, folk, and rock. She describes herself as a writer who doesn't wax overly poetic, but whose songs help people untangle their fears from their small wins. That's a good way to frame what she does: the songs are direct and grounded, more about the small, recognizable things than the grand gestures.
She's also a bit of a multitasker. Beyond the music, she records audiobooks and designs jewelry and cards, and she's worked as a sideman, touring and collaborating with other artists. That background comes into play here, as the whole night is built around the three of them swapping songs rather than each taking a separate turn. It's a collaborative way to spend a few hours, with the focus on the songs themselves and the different voices they take on.

The show runs from 5 PM to 7 PM, so it's an early one that wraps up before dinner. You'll find it at H-E-B, 1801 E 51st St, in Austin.
