Becca Stevens

Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Becca Stevens performs an intimate solo concert in which the audience is seated on the Gartner Auditorium stage.

Stevens has established an outstanding career of blending effortless vocal talent with exquisite compositions that draw inspiration from pop, jazz, indie rock, and folk-music traditions. Her music stretches the boundaries of convention with songs that weave together her classical and Appalachian folk-music upbringing with her love of the rich rhythms and harmonies of jazz and world music, further enhanced and accompanied by her skill on multiple stringed instruments.

Becca has toured internationally as the bandleader of the Becca Stevens Band since its inception in 2006. Along with her solo output, Becca is a highly respected collaborator who has written and toured extensively with the likes of David Crosby as an active member of his Lighthouse Band, Jacob Collier, Michael League of Snarky Puppy, and Taylor Eigsti, to name just a few.

Becca has released collaborative records that blend her original music with the world-renowned Secret Trio, as well as with the illustrious Attacca Quartet (with whom she was a conominee with violist Nathan Schram for a 2023 Grammy for Best Arrangement, Instruments and Vocals). Becca has performed and recorded with many of her musical heroes, including Brad Mehldau, Laura Mvula, Michael McDonald, Snarky Puppy, Chris Thile, Antonio Sánchez, Alan Hampton, Gretchen Parlato, Louis Cole, Vince Mendoza, Brian Blade, the Metropole Orkest, Tim Heidecker, and Ambrose Akinmusire, among many others.
