Becky Chace & Brian Minisce

Songwriters who performs their own material as well as covers. They play genre-defying, soulful music which twists and turns through the varied paths of life. Their music has the sadness and swing of alt-country and blues ala Lucinda Williams, but can kick into the rock bravado of rock and pop ala Bruce Springsteen and drop into the lonely despair of a folk song all in one set. Chosen Best Local Female Vocalist 5 times in 6 years (2000-2003, 2005) by the readers of the Providence Phoenix Best Music Poll, Becky has been said to have "the voice of an angel who just got her heart ripped out by the devil." - The New Haven Advocate You can hear some of her music here:
