Bio
Betty Iron Thumbs snuck up on Katie Morrison (guitar, vocals, viola) and Mike Long (guitar, vocals.) Both Katie and Mike were in a folk band called My Compass Spins when they realized that their songwriting was going in a different direction. The old band fell to the wayside and Katie and Mike began their search for musicians who would compliment their new found twangy indie rock sensibilities. They first found Richard Robin (bass), a Louisiana transplant whose southern roots helped lay down the bandsignature alt-country influenced groove. Next came Hugo Fernandes (drums) who gave Katie, Mike, and Richard a dose of what every good band needs… rock.
Since Hugo joined in May 2007, Betty Iron Thumbs has played at some of the best venues Philadelphia has to offer including Mill Creek Tavern, Tritone, Doc Watsons, and several stints at North Star Bar. Every single one of these shows was booked based on word of mouth because the band did not have any recordings at the time.
In December 2007, Betty Iron Thumbs completed their long awaited first EP, Sit and Wait and is spending the winter and spring regionally gigging and writing new tunes.
