Becca Stevens Band

Hailed by the New York Times as a "best-kept secret" with an "impressively absorbing" debut album, Becca Stevens has roots in Classical Guitar, folk music and jazz, and influences ranging from West African rhythms to eccentric pop, but none of those genres typify her singular style. Similarly, her accomplished career at the young age of 24 follows several different paths. From being the acclaimed lead singer of Travis Sullivan's Bjorkestra to writing original lyrics for jazz trumpeter Jeremy Pelt, Becca Stevens shows versatility and creativity in numerous projects.

Becca began her musical life at an early age singing and performing with family. By the age of two she was singing in her family's band The Tune Mammals and had already recorded her first record with the group. She attended the North Carolina School of the Arts, majoring in classical guitar, and proceeded to The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music where she received a BFA with high honors in jazz voice and composition. It was here at the New School that Becca met the future members of the Becca Stevens Band. Informed by her studies and driven by her own creative voice, soon after her days at The New School Becca released her debut album "Tea Bye Sea". Showcasing her flair for writing lyrics and arranging for a full ensemble on eight original tunes, the New York Times gave her a half-page feature that pointed to her guitar skills, mature writing and summarized her overall sound as "wistful and determined."
