Born on a hot day in August sometime in the 70s, Becky Chace came out of the womb talking and singing. Often told she talks too much, seldom scolded for singing, she tries to connect honestly with her audience through authenticity and songs that reveal the intimate workings of her mind.
Together with longtime friend and guitarist Brian Minisce, Becky Chace writes, performs, and records genre-defying, soulful music which twists and turns through the varied paths of life leaving their listeners feeling connected to the bigger picture through the window of their work. 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
Her CDs have received critical acclaim from publications including The Boston Globe who called Chace's Take Your Shot "a stunning collection of original roots rock, folk, and blues." Chace has opened for such national acts as Joan Jett, America, Judi Collins, The Gin Blossoms, Better Than Ezra, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Littlefeat, Delbert McClinton, and Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes to name a few and is "arguably hands-down one of the most celebrated singer-songwriters to come out of the Rhode Island area." Motif Magazine
Most recently performing as a duo, she tours continually with dates reaching all points of the East Coast this year from Portland, ME to Atlanta, GA.
Becky Chace believes that music should be used as a tool to bring people together. Chace proves genres and styles don't matter as long as the singer expresses herself with passion. Having sold over 8,000 plus copies of her independently released CDs, it is obvious that her fans believe this passion comes across on CD as well.
This year Becky released her eighth independent CD “A River Under Me.” You can find all 87 of her published original songs on her website for download. As for the future, with 8 CDs released, we know Becky will continue to have a lot to say.

Great job, Becky, putting on "the contest"! bringing so many musicians together like this--esp those 62 performers on the final open Sunday--was amazing: a true "everyone was there" party--a year highlight--(and because of you). It's probably a pretty thankless job--doing all this---so thanks!!
