"I was powerfully struck by Rebecca's big, beautiful sound as a vocalist. She also stood out immediately for her quick, intelligent musicianship and apparently effortless stage presence. Like everyone else, of course, I couldn't miss her youth, attractiveness and charm...I am, in short, a Rebecca Muir fan." – Rob Mounsey www.robmounsey.com

"I have only the highest praise for Rebecca Muir's talent... I believe she has much to contribute in the musical world and look forward to seeing her star rise in the years to come." – Lennie Gallant www.lenniegallant.com

"From the moment I first heard her sing, I recognized that Rebecca possesses an amazing natural talent... She has fine technique and an exceptional range, but I was impressed by her adaptability... " – Linda Ronstadt www.lindaronstadt.com

Originally from Nova Scotia, Canada, Rebecca Muir is a rising star. With her first solo album slated for release in the fall of this year, she has racked up an impressive list of credits, most recently boasting work with Grammy-winning producer George Massenburg and Grammy-winning superstar Linda Ronstadt, a live duet with rocker Steve Winwood, and a performance of the national anthem at Fenway Park.

Rebecca has performed with the likes of Gloria Estefan, Herbie Hancock, Paul Simon, Philip Bailey of Earth Wind & Fire, Christopher Guest, and Canadian superstars k-os, The New Pornographers, Lennie Gallant, Matt Mays, Classified, Spesh-Ill-K, Bruce Guthro, Lana Grant, Theresa Malenfant, Matt Minglewood, Dutch Mason and Garrett Mason. Add to that performances for the legendary funk band Tower of Power, Melissa Etheridge, The Edge – lead guitarist from U2, and renowned producer Phil Ramone, you've got one impressive resume.

In 2005, Rebecca was awarded a scholarship to attend the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, thus beginning her love-affair with the music scene in the United States. She has become a fixture on the Boston music scene, appearing with the Jazz Cafe at Symphony Hall, and local label Heavy Rotation Records featured two of her tracks on 2009’s compilation CD.

A solo artist in her own right, she is also in high demand as a background singer and songwriter, frequently lending her talents to other artists’ projects. Her diversity as an artist is unparalleled - she has done vocal session work for prolific songwriter Mark Simos (Allison Krauss cuts; country/bluegrass), and has appeared on records by Canadian chart-toppers Classified (hiphop) and Lennie Gallant (pop/folk), both of whom are Juno-nominated and many-time ECMA winners. She has also appeared on jazz, classic rock, R&B, pop, country and electronica records. Rebecca’s solo album promises to be a finely-crafted mix of all these musical flavours. She is currently performing her original material with her band throughout New England, and travels to New York, L.A., and Canada from time to time for performances.
