Betty

Pronouns: She/they

Where you at: Cincinnati, OH

What do you do: Bedroom musician, music connoisseur, merch collector, caregiver to the coolest teenager ever

Parts of MWFF involved in: band selection/unsolicited opinions, interview editing, social media/promotion, photography

What do you bring to the MWFF table: Past experience includes 20+ years of having flawless music taste, playing in various bands, and years of being in involved in the local music scene/working at the local guitar store in another state.

Why did you want to be involved with MWFF? The first year I went for Camping in Alaska but left with a ton of new bands to love, and a new drive to want to be part of the Cincy music scene. The second year was even more special photographing bands and it really put the "Friends" in Midwest Friends Fest if I may.
