   About Rebecca Wright

Freshly revealing, bright and beautiful... Rebecca's songs will stir your heart. Her deftly exquisite arrangements of voice and guitar, and graceful, grounded performances captivate audiences and takes them on a special journey, both within and without.

Originally hailing from the aptly named Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia, Rebecca is currently on a European adventure. She left Australia's shores for the first time in May 2008 after accepting an invitation to join Australian folk duo 'Cloudstreet', as guest cello-singer on their four month tour of the UK, Denmark and Morocco. At the tour's conclusion, she followed the road to Scotland via France, and is now preparing herself for her second winter in a place where it actually snows!

For the past ten years, Rebecca has appeared at countless Australian festivals, including the world renowned Woodford & Port Fairy Festivals, and has supported many international acts including the Sharon Shannon Band (Ire), Grada (Ire), Chris While & Julie Matthews (UK) and James Keelaghan (Canada). She has also enjoyed long-term residencies at pubs in Australia and has more recently been seen in folk clubs and festivals across Scotland.

Rebecca's debut album, “All I See”, was released in early 2006 and is an intimate collection of ten insightful original songs, along with renditions of Dar Williams' “February” and Julie Miller's “By Way of Sorrow”. On this album, Rebecca is joined by some of the Sunshine Coast's finest musicians and the result is truly magic.

“She’ll open anyone’s heart with her musical brilliance.” The Folk Rag www.folkrag.org

“Is there a superlative that can describe Rebecca Wright and her music? Luminescent? Scintillating? Seductive? All of those and then add transcendent. Her songwriting is as exciting as her performance and put together they create a breathtaking and stunning alchemy.” Sandy McCutcheon - author, radio presenter

“Rebecca is a jewel in our local music industry... a fantastic artist." The Soundlounge

“Rebecca Wright is one of the new wave of the folk movement - a young woman with her musical roots firmly in the folk tradition, but whose vision stretches to the future, whose voice makes you sit up and take notice, and whose presence makes you want to listen. She has already won a national award, and her star is well on the rise. If this is the future of folk, we are in safe hands.” Judy Small

“Her music is a fresh breath to blow away cobwebs.” Helen Rowe - Judge, Declan Affley Memorial Award, National Folk Festival Australia

Hello my angel!!!!

I'm having a ball. I've definitely found my calling. Blessed am I. Are you in Australia? I hope so! We're moving house in six sleeps!!! I'm surrounded by boxes and bubble wrap. The bubble wrap is doubling as a convenient and much needed form of stress release - pop! Sending much much much much love to you. xxxxxxx Nadia

Hey there lovely - great to hear from you,
The busking in Belfast was with the amp - I don't like to go acoustic at all as no-one can really hear what you are doing.......would keep the volume down though as I know they have had some problems with complaints about some of the bands being too loud from the offices.......but don't think I come under that banner!! Still suggested they change a few rules - buskers there often stay in one spot all day.......think an hour or just over is enough before you should change your pitch - fair on the shops etc and the other buskers. I want to check out Europe as well so going to start making a busking schedule so I can finance this course and my costs of living.......will take a while for the gigs as you know but we shall see.......how are things with you? Any plans on the horizon?? How's the songwriting going?? Rachxx
