Becky Schlegel
Americana, Bluegrass, and Classic Country
[object Object]
Songstress. Her music is original, drawing on the influence of classic country, bluegrass, folk, and her own thoughtful spirit. Becky's incredible voice floats, whispers then soars above music of the highest quality. She takes her listeners on a musical journey, exploring new places and meeting new people in every song.
Becky can perform solo or with a band. For soothing background or dinner music, a solo performance by Becky would work beautifully. With the addition of other high-quality musicians, she visits the sounds of Bluegrass, Americana, and Classic Country music in a class act band setting.
