Biography
When you hear Becky Syson perform live you'll understand why she's been described as
'Sublime Folk Rock'… With countless blooms of first-rate songs and an infectious personality on stage
it's no wonder that she's highly received by audiences and promoters alike.
Self-releasing her debut album 'H.O.L.L.A.N.D' (Hope Our Love Lasts And Never Dies) in May 2008,
she has since performed at The Gate To Southwell Folk Festival, Summer Sundae Festival,
Burnham-on-sea FolkFest, The Riverside Festival, 'Live in the Lounge' for BBC Radio Nottingham
at the Royal Concert Hall, and has supported the likes of Phil Campbell, Martha Tilston,
Amy Studt, Brian Houston, and Bram Taylor.
Her forthcoming EP 'Weave Your Dreams' is due to be released in late November with Nottingham label, Arboretum Records and is sure to capture the hearts of all who hear it.
'Both intimate and dramatic, with a voice of true range, power and passion, Becky Syson was one of the word-of-mouth hits of the festival. Evoking the spirits of both Carina Round and Julianne Regan, she steps well beyond Folk Rock into far more fascinating terrain. Deeply impressive.'
