Bio
A truly original artist, natural singer and an inspired songwriter with a delicious sense of space and dynamic. Rebecca creates her own brand of groove on both acoustic and electric guitars, skimming over the waters blues, folk, reggae and soul and has shown herself a solid player with unique stylings.
Each song is rhythmically woven from her dancing feet up to her shining smile! A velvet force of melody and muse, this lady is infused with wisdom and bewitched with a natural naivety. Rebecca's rolls out the magic carpet for a ride reflecting on the poetry of life.
May '12- Single Release 'Take me out!' from new EP 'Wild Bear', out in September!!
Wielding an electric guitar and the shards of a broken heart, singer and songwriter, Rebecca Ireland, takes a crack at the dark side of domestic bliss in her fun and crunchy new single, 'Take me out!'. This tune is sweet and raw and slightly fruity, declaring love to be a killer and truth to be a dare!
Rebecca's performance is vulnerable, brave and free and makes for an interesting follow up from her debut Album, 'Love & Sticky Tape' (ABC Nth Coast album of the week) , released last year through Vitamin, proving this emerging artist to be a talented and eclectic writer complete with tasty vocals and quirky guitar grooves. 'Take me out' was written and arranged by Rebecca and recorded and produced by Christian Pyle (Acre etc), who plays many of the instruments featured on the track including the umbira (african thumb piano) and the castanets! 'Take me out!' has a dark pop/rock sound that almost doesn't quite deliver, leaving a delicious hunger that yearns to be set free; just like it's mother!
The successful 2011/12 tour of 'Love & Sticky Tape', with her 6 to 8 piece band, 'The Old Souls', saw shows in Melbourne, Brisbane and The Mullum Music Festival, featuring some of the region's finest musicians.
The new EP, 'WILD BEAR' due out in September through Vitamin Records.
'There was a warmth from the audience towards Rebecca that cannot be manufactured', Glenn Wright, Mullum Music Festival Director.
'Rebecca's original, poetic and lyrical slant on life is inspirational and poignant', Marika Bryant, ABC Arts Hub.
