Becca Stevens returns to Europe for the ‘Regina’ Autumn Tour’
28/9/2017
Becca Stevens returns to Europe to tour her latest album Regina (released March 17, Ground Up) with dates across the UK, Netherlands, Italy, Spain and Slovenia. Becca has taken a journey that began with a study of Queen Elizabeth I and expanded this into tributes to various queens from history, literature, folklore and her own imagination in this album. Performance highlights from the summer tour include The Olympia Paris, North Sea Jazz, Jazz a Vienne and Middelheim Jazz Festival.
Her style has always evaded categorisation and crosses the limits of genre, and even more so with Regina. Stevens mixes pop, rock, R&B and funk along with traditional Appalachian and British folk, classical, world music, and jazz.
The album has received copious praise throughout the US and Europe.
