In a recent interview with 半岛体育, Buckley spoke about her Joe鈥檚 Pub engagement, featuring her trio鈥擩acob on piano, Marino on bass, and Haddad on percussion鈥攏ewly joined by guitar player Rogers. 鈥淚'm really excited to work with Adam because he's the guitarist for the Steely Dan tour,鈥� Buckley said. 鈥淚'm such a huge Steely Dan fan鈥nd he's a brilliant guitar player and really nice guy. Both of his parents were in musical theatre. I was scared to call him because I thought he wouldn't know who I was because he's this elite guitar player. And he was like, 鈥極h, Betty, we all know you!鈥� He's so sweet. I can't wait to work with him."
Texas native Buckley, who starred as Dolly Gallagher Levi in the national tour of the Tony-winning revival of Hello, Dolly!, won her Tony Award for her performance as Grizabella in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats, later earning another nomination for her work in the musical Triumph of Love.
