Artist description Becca’s style is in the roots-rock/Americana vein, with definite cross-over potential. Her strong, sensuous vocals are unique and natural. With a writing style as simple and to-the-point as her person, on stage or off, what you see is what you get! “The first time I met Becca, she invited me to the studio where she was recording two of my songs on her CD. I was taken by the amount of talent and enthusiasm she had and has. Becca has a touch of traditional and today in her music, and her voice reflects the natural beauty of the person she is!" -Bobby Boyd, songwriter (“Two of a Kind, Workin’ on a Full House”) Becca’s will to succeed is born from the encouragement she receives from her audiences – large or small, opry stage or campfire. Onstage, she comes off as the girl next door, mixed with a little rebel and sass. Her flirtatious facial expressions engage the crowd in a fun, playful way. The girl has a look! “Whether it’s a rowdy roadhouse or a family restaurant, Becca simply captivates her audience. She grabs their attention with a voice that’s pure and soulful, then wows ‘em with a stage presence like no one else. In her case, looks are not deceiving – Becca’s a real gem!” - Steve Dieterichs, Texas Music Magazine In addition to her ever-expanding repertoire of originals, Becca covers a range of styles, from country music pioneer Patsy Montana’s yodel infused “Cowboy Sweetheart,” to an exuberant rendition of Kris Kristofferson’s “Me and Bobby McGee.” “Becca has played regularly here for three years, and MAN has she got something! Her sound is a brilliant mixture of southern-fried twang, Americana and jagged-edged classic rock and roll, with a little Texas-folk thrown in for good measure. The crowds love her!” - Tye Phelps, Love & War in Texas (Plano) Becca embraces her unique position as a female singer-songwriter within the male dominated landscape of Texas music. In the fall of ’01, she began hosting the popular “Girls Night Out” – a monthly showcase for up-and-coming female songwriters - at Plano’s Love & War in Texas. She also performed along side Susan Gibson, Mary Cutrufello, and others, at the December 2001, “Girls with Guitars” showcase at the historic Sons of Hermann Hall in Dallas.

Artist History To say that Becca Dalrymple fell into music by accident is both accurate and misleading. Unlike many a country artist’s story that’s peppered with vague childhood memories of countless performances at county fairs and church programs, Becca’s recollection of her first “public” performance is vivid. So filled with anxiety was she, that she refused to face the family and friends gathered in the backyard that warm summer day. Instead, she focused intently on her grandfather’s guitar picking, while shyly belting out the Connie Smith country standards that she had grown accustomed to hearing her mother sing at such family gatherings – songs like “For Then and Only Then,” and “Cincinnati, Ohio.” Such shyness could be expected of a child, but Becca was already a woman of nineteen, and the idea of performing for anyone had never crossed her mind. The nervous excitement of the experience sparked something in Becca that would lead her to spend the next few years carving out a place for herself in the Texas music scene. Along the way, she would forge friendships with notable songwriters like Bobby Boyd and Mike Blakely, and catch the eye (and ear) of movie actor/screenwriter/director Barry Tubb (Top Gun, Grand Champion). Having grown up in Stephenville, Texas, “The Cowboy Capital of the World,” it is perhaps not so surprising that Becca would quickly make a name for herself among the many opries and professional rodeos so prevalent in Central Texas. Honing her craft with the likes of Kitty Wells, Hank Thompson, Werner Mack and LeAnn Rimes, Becca was honored as “Female Vocalist of the Year” for five consecutive years at the Cross Timbers Country Opry, was a finalist for “Female Vocalist” and “New Look Vocalist” at the Wylie Country Opry, and was a finalist for “Female Vocalist of the Year” at the prestigious Johnny High Country Music Revue (which spawned the careers of LeAnn Rimes, Linda Davis, and Larry Gatlin). Becca has performed for numerous packed arenas on the PBR Budlight Cup Series, the Texas Circuit Finals, and the Mesquite Championship Rodeo, among others. The release of her first CD, “I Can Do Anything,” landed her gigs with Charlie Robison, Gary P. Nunn, Tommy Alverson, Eleven Hundred Springs, Max Stalling, and many other top Texas artists.

Group Members Becca draws from some of the best musicians in North Texas for accompaniment and is equally comfortable in either solo acoustic settings or full band configurations. With striking good looks and youthful enthusiasm, she draws especially well in college markets.
