Classically trained pianist and singer songwriter from Pontypool in South Wales, Rebecca Richards is making a name for herself with her gorgeous chord progressions, melody creation and beautiful vocals. Her songs have been described as uplifting and empowering whilst maintaining a bittersweet edge. Her love of music is heavily steeped in country, blues and rock and major influences include The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Glen Campbell and Blackberry Smoke.

She has recently learned to play mandolin and tenor guitar which she says helps with creating a wide variety in her songwriting and performance. Rebecca has been fortunate to have performed across the UK including The Camden Club, London, South Wales Country Music Festival, Newport, The Green Gathering, Chepstow and The Acoustic Cafe, Tavistock as well as playing venues across Wales and the South West. More recently she has been shortlisted for the 2023 UK Country Music Radio Song Award and she will be playing live at the finale in Donnington on 28th October. Rebecca says her favourite part of music creation is the connection with others through her music.

New Yesterday’s is out now on all streaming platforms.
