Tour Kicks Off, SXSW Showcase Offered, FAI Showcase Confirmed
Rebecca Loebe’s new album ‘Give Up Your Ghosts’ is earning raves as a high water mark for the singer-songwriter as her tour kicked off last week. She also earned official showcase invitations from SXSW and Folk Alliance and released a new music video for the song “Tattoo.”
‘Give Up Your Ghosts’ is an experiential look at life as a woman in the 21st century through the guise of advice Loebe would give her younger self. She talks about that inspiration in this short video.
The Bluegrass Situation just did a Q&A with her.
Here’s what we’re reading and hearing:

“An album of strong songs.” -Andrew Dansby, Houston Chronicle, February 8, 2019
