About Me |
|
| Rebecca Jed is a left field artist with overtly traditional roots. Her haunting voice is reminiscent of the classic sounds of Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton. Her style of writing is more of an updated crossbreed between Ray Wylie Hubbard and Dolly Parton. Jed calls her music, “Retro Country.” Jed’s story began at the tender age of zero, in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. There she spent her summers with every animal under the sun, helping her dad manage his dude ranch. She barrel raced in local rodeos, led trail rides, and snake hunts. This is where her main source of inspiration would come from and where she started singing and living the real country music lifestyle. The environment was a colorful one, with pet buffalos, wolves, dogs, deer, horses and city slicker tourists. The rest of the time Jed lived on a farm in Texas, with her four other sisters. Attending a snobby school and taking voice lessons. Jed soon began performing at state fairs, talent shows and singing hymns in churches. At twelve, she saved up all her lunch money for four months and from the pawnshop walls of broken dreams, bought an awful sounding but pretty looking Ovation guitar. It was enough to set Jed on fire. Shortly after, in pursuit of her dreams to be a country star, Jed played in Austin, Portland, Boulder, Arkansas, Seattle and LA. Finally finding a home here in Nashville, it’s been a long journey for Jed and the life lessons she has learned along the way can be heard in her music. Poised to take Nashville by storm Jed’s currently working on her new album, due out summer 2008. You can purchase a copy of Rebecca's latest album for five dollars @ CLICK HERE TO BUY!!
