Betsy Stern is a native of Berkeley California, and grew up performing with her dad, a pianist and composer, who left her with a huge repertoire of music from the 1890s through the 1950s. She started entertaining in the senior community when she was a child. At 16 she was accepted at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and Mills College. She went to Mills, where she completed an internship in music therapy, and then went on to graduate from UC Berkeley. She sings and plays guitar and double bass. In addition to her solo work, she plays in several bands in the Bay Area and has a group based in Paris. She also has a special program with which she tours to introduce very young children to music. She loves working with seniors, as their love of music is so great and their participation so wonderful.
