Rebecca has experienced success both at home in New Zealand and abroad. She is currently a reservist in the Royal New Zealand Navy and had the honour of performing the national anthem at the ANZAC Centenary Dawn Service in Gallipoli last year as well as in 2014.

She has also sung in front of royalty, is a regular feature at All Black test matches and performs as a headline act on a number of cruise liners. As well as live performance she has put in studio time and produced two record albums.

The singer will be making her first appearance in the Eastern Bay of Plenty. There will be supporting artists including "the man with the big voice", Dennis August, who is back in the town by popular demand.

The other artists in the country music vein are Jim Wood, Rachel West, and Ryan and Hayley Monaghan from the Waikato region.

Rebecca got her first break while travelling overseas. She was spotted busking in the street of Dublin and subsequently asked to go on tour around Ireland with a group known as The Priests.

Tickets are available at the Radio 1XX office in Whakatane and at Recycled Labels in Opotiki.
