Artist History Pop-rock songstress Beki Hemingway made her debut performing for the neighborhood kids on top of garbage cans at the age of 5. A well travelled Marine brat, she soon learned to over- come shyness and feel comfortable in the spotlight. Beki honed her dynamic vocal skills working recording sessions, and singing and touring as a backup vocalist with other artists. In 1997, she left quirky punkabilly band This Train to go solo, and now works with husband/ guitarist/producer/co-writer Randy Kerkman. Last year, she performed about 150 shows, with highlights including shows with Lowen & Navarro, Aimee Mann, Shawn Colvin, Pierce Pettis, and Vigilantes of Love. Her new cd is expected to be out on Salt Lady Records by summer.
