About Me


ELECTRONIC PRESS KIT


SOULFUL SOUTHERN POP NOIR
Singer/songwriter Rebekah Pulley is not, repeat not, a folkie. Sure, she can hold a coffeehouse crowd transfixed, and her occasionally socio politically tinged lyrics at times recall a certain old-school grassroots sensibility. Her songs, however, showcase an enviable knack for both dynamic structure and subtle texturing of mood, and her warbling, captivating voice is all white soul and compelling pop melody. Shit, shes good. A songwriter with an amazingly mature grasp of the craft ... live, her singing is both technically spot-on and emotionally devastating. It can drop your jaw and break your heart. (scott harrell-weekly planet)
In Tampa Bay’s weekly arts and entertainment publication Creative Loafing, she was voted 2002’s Best Acoustic Act, 2005’s Best Singer-Songwriter and 2007s Best Singer/Songwriter. The St Petersburg Times chose ‘Here In The Real World’ as 2003’s Best Local Release. Her latest CD ‘Songs of Southern Zen’ was the 4th most played recording at Tampa’s local community radio station WMNF 88.5FM for 2006.
DISCOGRAPHY: Nowhere Fast[1999]; A Brand New Day[2001]; Here In The Real World[2003]; Songs of Southern Zen from Pen & Paper to the Electric Den[2006]
