Becca Stevens Band - Weightless (2011)

The North Carolina-bred, New York-based singer/composer/guitarist’s status as
a lifelong music-maker is more than apparent on the Becca Stevens Band’s
Sunnyside debut Weightless. The sparkling 12-song set reveals the
accomplished young songstress to be a startlingly original, refreshingly
distinctive talent.

Since 2004, Becca has served as lead singer of Travis Sullivan’s Bjorkestra,
fronting a genre-bending 18-piece jazz orchestra interpreting the songs of
Bjцrk. She has also toured and recorded with, and written lyrics for, jazz
pianist Taylor Eigsti, and debuted at Carnegie Hall as featured singer with
pianist Brad Mehldau this Spring. Stevens’ work has already received copious
praise from the likes of The New York Times, who described her as “a
best-kept secret” and called her debut indie release Tea Bye Sea
“impressively absorbing.”

Weightless will be released by Sunnyside Records on April 19, 2011.
