What if musical genres were as fluid as emotions? Join us in an inspiring conversation with the multi-talented Rebecca Correa, as she uncovers the magic behind her latest single "Rose-Colored Glasses" and her eclectic musical journey. From her childhood in Dartmouth, Massachusetts to her vibrant performances along the Northeast coast and the iconic music scene of Nashville, Rebecca takes us on a captivating tour of her life's musical tapestry. We explore her summer gigs on islands like Martha's Vineyard and her plans to return to Nashville for an intense writing and recording season.
Rebecca's story is a tapestry of diverse influences and early passions. She reflects on her music, which blends folk, rock, Americana, pop, R&B, soul, and country, and the impact of her varied musical upbringing. Rebecca offers a fascinating take on the blurring lines between genres, with a nod to Post Malone's successful crossover into country music. We also dive into her roots: starting with piano, transitioning to guitar, and eventually collaborating with Grammy winner Keb' Mo'. Her journey is a testament to the power of early songwriting as an emotional outlet and the significant role Nashville connections have played in her career.
Beyond the chords and melodies, we uncover Rebecca's life off the stage. She shares her passion for running, highlighting the communal spirit of both the music and running communities. With twelve half marathons under her belt, including the Nashville Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon, Rebecca draws striking parallels between these two worlds.
