Details
Rebecca Loebe is best known for her energetic live performances. Her
songbird voice carries the show while her buoyant personality captivates
audiences and has them laughing, shouting and singing along. Fans of
the Americana/folk tradition identify with her breezy storytelling while
audiences of mainstream pop/rock sing along to her catchy, confessional
original songs. In the past year she has performed 150 shows and
shared the stage with Sophie B. Hawkins, Ellis Paul, Halcyon and classic
rock legend America.
It hasn't been too long since Rebecca was working as an engineer at
a Boston recording studio, fresh of out college and quietly recording
on her own folk/rock songs during off-hours. Encouraged by support
and participation from 2-time Grammy award winner Robert Hadley (mastering
engineer whose credits include Stevie Nicks, Carly Simon and The Dixie
Chicks), Rebecca released this collection of material as her full-length
debut solo album, Hey, its a Lonely World. The debut album quickly
got the attention of critics and music fans in the northeast (Mary Hamilton
of the Northeast Performer hailed her vocal delivery as "part inside
joke and part prayer"), and Rebecca began calling out shifts at
the studio to keep up with her rapidly-increasing tour schedule.
Fresh off a whirlwind college tour in the spring of 2007, Rebecca is
gearing up to release her second album, an EP entitled The Brooklyn Series. This
6-song EP has its origins in a month-long break from touring Rebecca
spent in New York last spring. During this respite she divided
her time between song-writing in a rented room in the notorious Bed-Stye
neighborhood of Brooklyn and seeking inspiration in the city at large. The
new body of work was road-tested at various open mics and songwriter
circles around New York City and integrated into her live set during
her summer New England, Southeast and West Coast tours. Recorded
at the very end of 2006 and the beginning of 2007 with Atlanta producer
Will Robertson (Blake Guthrie, Arlington Priest), The Brooklyn Series
is a reflection of Rebecca's growth as a songwriter and a young woman
as she takes a darker and more humorous look at the world around her.
Best enjoyed with dark chocolate and red wine.
