Looking forward to the release of my new album 'Stripped Back'
Birmingham-based Rebecca is a fully independent artist creating original blues/rock music with her co-songwriter Steve Birkett and releasing it on her own label Mad Hat Records. She usually plays live within a 5-piece band, performing tracks mainly from her superb second album Believe and the stunning third album More Sinner Than Saint, punctuated by one or two classic covers. Rebecca was voted Female Vocalist and Emerging Artist of the Year at the British Blues Awards 2016 and Female Blues Vocalist of the Year in the FORM UK Blues Awards 2018. In July 2020 Rebecca was appointed Brand Ambassador for the Forge Ahead Initiative supporting the development of young bands.
In April 2021, Rebecca will release her new studio album 'Stripped Back', a project conceived and completed in lockdown to deliver laid back yet still vibrant new versions of four tracks from 'Believe' and six from 'More Sinner Than Saint', together with two previously unreleased numbers that did not fit with the feel of the previous album. 'Blues For Us', one of the new numbers, was released as a single in March 2021.
