Simply enjoying making a racket together for 19 years and counting...

Singer/songwriter Rebecca Connelly pours such passion and devotion into her music that listeners can’t help but be flooded with emotion and memories of the beautiful struggle called life. Her voice has been compared to that of Jewel and Natalie Merchant and described as “pure, sweet, and full of emotion.” Her diverse musical style defies genre, but if necessary her songs can be categorized as pop/rock with a twist of folk. Rebecca was raised in a very musical household and was fascinated by the creativity of her grandad’s singing/storytelling. At a very young age she knew that making music was her passion, and she now describes it as “a relationship you can’t leave, and it never leaves you.” 
Rebecca departed from her native Scotland in 2006 and moved to America. Her first album, Coming Home, was recorded in a friend’s recording studio in Palm Springs and provided the buzz she needed to break into the California music scene. Selling dozens of copies of the album at her live shows, the album was well received by fans and critics alike. In 2010 Rebecca won ‘Best Female Artist’ in the SoCal Live Music Competition for her song “Hollywood,” which gained her acceptance in the U.S. music scene as well as publicity for her music. 
Since then, Rebecca has brought together an ensemble of musicians and production staff to complement both the poetic candor of her voice and the powerful emotions and imagery that define her songwriting. Her band, “Dolalay,” released their debut EP Days Like This in Feb 2012 and toured Scotland. 
Now back in Scotland Rebecca is a member of popular duo Side by Side and has opened her first music teaching, recording & writing studio in Kinross, Scotland.
