Bio
Whiskey-voiced Becky Hobbs is one-of-a-kind. She is a gifted songwriter, as well as a captivating entertainer. She plays the piano like no other female on stage. High Energy best describes Becky, yet she can rope you in like an Oklahoma cowgirl with her poignant ballads.
Becky has performed in over 40 countries, including 9 countries in Africa. She co-wrote the powerful "Angels Among Us," recorded by Alabama, which stayed on the Billboard Top Singles Sales Chart for over a year. She co-wrote "I Want to Know You Before We Make Love" which went to #1 for Conway Twitty. She's written other songs recorded by Alabama, George Jones, Loretta Lynn, Emmylou Harris, Glen Campbell, John Anderson, Janie Fricke, Lacy J Dalton, Moe Bandy, Shelly West, Helen Reddy, Shirley Bassey, Jane Oliver, and Ken Mellons.
"The Beckaroo," as she is called by her friends, was born and raised in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. She started playing piano and writing songs when she was nine years old and formed her own all-girl band in high school. Becky has been performing ever since. Her dreams took her to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where she played in “Swampfox” for 2 years, then to Los Angeles for 9 years, where she wrote songs by day & played the honky tonks at night.
In 1981, Becky headed for Nashville, and shortly thereafter recorded a Billboard Top 10 duet with Moe Bandy, "Let's Get Over Them Together." In 1988, her critically acclaimed All Keyed Up album on MTM, then later BMG, brought us "Jones On The Jukebox," "Are There Any More Like You," & "Do You Feel The Same Way Too." Becky's "Talk Back Tremblin' Lips" video (Curb Records) went to #6 on CMT. In 1994, she released The Boots I Came to Town In album on Intersound Records, which included the haunting "Pale Moon," the rockin' "Mama's Green Eyes (& Daddy's Wild Hair)" & Becky's own version of "Angels Among Us." Becky was named Cashbox Magazine's Independent Country Music Female Artist of the Year for 1994.
In 1996, Becky married Duane Sciacqua, a talented guitarist/producer/ songwriter. Duane has played guitar with Paul McCartney, Glenn Frey (of The Eagles) for 16 years, and is currently on tour with Rodney Atkins. Duane produced Becky’s 1998 album, FROM OKLAHOMA WITH LOVE, which received a great review in PEOPLE Magazine, and SONGS FROM THE ROAD OF LIFE, released in 2005.
The BECKAROO is a favorite in Europe. Her SWEDISH COFFEE & AMERICAN SUGAR album was released in Scandinavia in 2000.
Becky is a 5th-great-granddaughter of Nancy Ward, Beloved Woman of the Cherokee (born approx. 1738). Her song, “Let There Be Peace,” is recognized as the theme song for the descendants of Nancy Ward.
BEST OF THE BECKAROO-PART 1 (released 2006) is a collection of Becky’s most popular recordings, up to, but not including titles from “Songs From The Road Of Life.” There’s 21 songs in all....a real treasure for Beckaroo fans.
Becky shares her gift of music by playing as many charity events as she can and performing at Country Music Festivals throughout the world. Her show is full of energy and heart. She pounds the fire out of the piano, and also plays accordion and acoustic guitar. If you're lucky enough to catch her show, you better hang on tight. The Beckaroo’s gonna "rock you to your roots!"
