Bio
Rebecca Folsom has brought her music to Folk Alliance for a number of years as part of the dynamic duo The Rhythm Angels. In 2013, she released her 10th CD featuring such stellar artists as Tim O'Brien, Nick Forster, John Magnie, and Richie Furay. In live performances, she performs with 2012 Grammy-nominated artist, Mark Oblinger, as they combine their talents to provide achingly beautiful lyrics and funky New Orleans Grooves.
Westword Magazine says, "Her songs hit like little earthquakes." She and Mark perform a delicious blend of Front porch instrumentals, intimate vocals, soaring harmonies, inspiring tales of human heartbreak, redemption, and liberation, mixed to sweet and spicy perfection.
Rebecca brings both a pure vocal quality reminiscent of old Appalachia and a blues prowess. Mark Oblinger provides toe-tapping Southern grooves and fun background vocals that lift you up for a truly unique and captivating musical ride! Together their shared accomplishments are many, and include: Nashville Songwriters, a Grammy nomination, topping the Roots/Americana and College radio charts and international venues, voted best of BBC Television and Radio, to name a few.
Together they have been professional singer-songwriters and touring musicians for over 20 years. In 2013, Rebecca released her 10th CD, Reunion, a stunning tri-medium combination of music, art and poetry that Boulder Magazine describes as "achingly beautiful." A true Renaissance woman, along with being a songwriter and touring musician, she has published two books of poetry and has a BFA in Fine Arts focused in painting and drawing.
She has been teaching Songwriting and the Art of Vocal Freedom workshops for over 18 years. Through her extensive collective artistic experience she enjoys inspiring others to shine as individuals and community members, move into authentic expression and action, and find enjoyment as they explore the masterpiece of their lives.
