RELATED: LISTEN TO REBECCA’S IN STUDIO WRFA INTERVIEW FROM JUNE 2019

Nestled in a world between Folk and Jazz, Rebecca McIlvain is a native Western New York singer songwriter with roots that extend down the east coast to Vero Beach, Florida. She has been honing her craft as a solo performer for the past 12 years, since graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Jazz Studies from the University of North Florida. With a hauntingly honest lyrical style, Rebecca has a knack for reinterpreting classic jazz and folk standards as well as writing songs that are relative to the times and environment of today. Her Vocal qualities have been compared to the likes of Billie Holiday or Astrud Gilberto and her guitar playing, which is self-taught, is in syncopated rhythms with an alternating form between plucking and strumming. Rebecca has one independently released album “Cardinal Call” which is a collection of Jazz Standards and original compositions. She has been keeping busy performing throughout Chautauqua County and beyond this summer. She played a Sunday set at the Great Blue Heron Music Festival, ventured on a mini-tour to Cleveland, Ohio and has an ongoing September Residency at The Beer Snob in Jamestown.

Upcoming Arts On Fire LIVE! performers include writer and storyteller Paul Leone in October and musician Steve Davis in November (dates and times T.B.A.). In addition to the entertainment programming, a Mayoral Candidate Debate is also scheduled for October 17 in the Media Studio.

The Media Studio at Reg Lenna Center for The Arts is located on the 3rd floor of the complex at 116 E. 3rd Street. Patrons should enter the building through the awning doors (between Forte and 3rd On 3rd Gallery) and take the elevator to 3R.
