As a 2018 Berklee Vocal Summit artist in residence, Becca Stevens(Opens in a new window) returns to Berklee College of Music to perform music from her latest recording, Regina.
The New York Times describes Stevens as a “best-kept secret” and “impressively absorbing.” She recently was featured on Snarky Puppy’s new Family Dinner, Volume 2, and has collaborated with artists such as Esperanza Spalding, Brad Mehldau, José James, and David Crosby.
Stevens’s style always has evaded categorization, and that is especially true with Regina. Pop, rock, R&B, and funk exist side by side with traditional Appalachian and British folk, classical, world music, and jazz. Intricate instrumentation and rhythms seamlessly intertwine with vocals and melodies.
Stevens has been compared to Björk, St. Vincent, Tori Amos, and Joni Mitchell.
