Since then she's performed in professional church groups and various non-church related local and regional bands. Becky was resided for one year at Livingstone Monastery in Hampton Roads, Virginia, where she contemplated her musical purpose and life dreams. Becky is excited to be performing original material for the first time, and together with DanO, the two have compiled an extensive songbook.. Their dynamic musical chemistry is known to draw an audience forward in their seat, Becky’s powerful and emotive voice shines in combination with DanO’s creative guitar work.
