Rebecca Wave has been writing and performing for more than 24 years. From singing
folk songs on the front porch while her father played an old guitar, she progressed
to years of piano and cello lessons, stage and choral singing and playing
recorder on the roof. She found herself with guitar in hand at 23, singing songs
that percolated up from the flood plains and tidepools of her life. After a
long period of traveling the country with various cats, dogs and people, and
working a stunning variety of day jobs, Rebecca has stayed in Santa Barbara
long enough to raise two children and record three albums. Her style has
been influenced by (almost) every genre: classical, pop, jazz, rock, folk, alternative,
gospel, yiddish, blues, r&b, world music, techno… What has emerged is a
direct, passionate voice with a lot to say about grief, joy, confusion, clarity,
love and lust. Melodies as simple as a childhood dream or complex as an extended
jazz riff deliver lyrics that cut to the heart.
