Bette Anderson

Songwriter & Performer

Welcome to my new, very high-tech Website!

(that I made without any help)

We’re just getting started! Hold on to your headphones, mikes, and songbooks while you watch where we’re headed.

ABOUT ME:

Hi, I’m Bette Anderson ([email protected])

I have been writing stories and songs for as long as I can remember. I love sharing my songs with those young, old and everyone in between.

I enjoy working solo as well as with other artists and collaborators trying to make songs full of whimsy, insight, and inspiration.

My songs have been shared with and performed by entertainers in multiple genres. I love to sing and share them at events, and have been honored to see my songs performed by bands and artists at many private and public celebrations including stage productions, weddings, festivals, open mics, memorials, bar/bas mitzvahs, and more.

They have been played near my longtime hometown in Central Indiana, my current residence in Chicago, and across the country, including spots in New York, Los Angeles, Nashville, Tucson, and Austin.

PUBLISHED WORKS & HISTORY:

Bette’s published works include poetry, greeting cards, essays, and songs, as well as newspaper columns, interviews, and feature stories.

Some of Bette’s songs have been included in collaborative shows in and around Tippecanoe County in Indiana, ranging from “Big Annie Mammoth”; “Yakov’s Lullaby”; “Veggie Rag”; “Family In Winter”; to “Midnight Sighs”.  

She was editor and contributor for Central Indiana Professional Writers (CIPW) magazine for several years. She also served as president of CIPW and was board member and secretary for Songwriters’ Association of Mid-north Indiana (SAMI).

Bette is also experienced in every technical aspect of live theater for more than fifty years, and has performed, directed, stage managed, and choreographed shows for community and university audiences.

Bette is also the best grandmother ever and is endeared by family and friends across the world.

(Shh… she thinks she did this site all by herself, so don’t mention this line ;p ).
