Becca Stevens Trio: Maple to Paper

Twice GRAMMY-nominated singer/songwriter Becca Stevens has forged a unique career, blending pop, jazz, indie-rock, folk, and world music with her classical and Appalachian roots. Known for her versatile vocals and mastery of multiple string instruments, Stevens’ work transcends genres through intricate rhythms and harmonies.

Since founding the Becca Stevens Band in 2006, she has toured internationally and become a sought-after collaborator, working with David Crosby, Jacob Collier, Michael League of Snarky Puppy, and Taylor Eigsti. She’s also partnered with the Secret Trio and Attacca Quartet, earning a 2023 GRAMMY nomination with violist Nathan Schram. Her collaborations extend further, with artists like Brad Mehldau, Chris Thile, Laura Mvula, Michael McDonald, Antonio Sánchez, Gretchen Parlato, and Ambrose Akinmusire.

Her album, Maple to Paper (GroundUP, 2024), is a deeply personal work reflecting themes of grief and transcendence. Stripped to the essentials, the album showcases her guitar and vocal performance recorded live without overdubs, with mixing by longtime collaborator Nic Hard. The emotional force of Maple to Paper highlights her ability to connect deeply with listeners.

In Summer 2024, Stevens made her Broadway debut in ILLINOISE, a musical based on Sufjan Stevens’ Illinois. Currently, she is on tour, performing Maple to Paper across Asia, Europe, and the US, continuing her journey as a boundary-pushing artist and storyteller.
