WE HAVE A WINNER! (February 13, 2012)
Wow, the month of January absolutely flew by in a flurry of songs and recording. Sorry I forgot to blog about it. Luckily, much of the process has been documented in a video series available at www.youtube.com/rebeccaloebe. For your convenience, the videos are also posted at www.rebeccaloebe.com/preorder.html where, after watching said videos and...

THE LOEBE LOWDOWN: New Year, New Album, New Prizes + News! January, 2012
Happy New Year! I hope that your holidays were warm, cozy and fun and that 2012 is treating you well so far. I can’t help but notice that we are now just three years from the future prophesied in Back to the Future 2. Who’s got the hoverboard? And more importantly, why are they keeping it from me? I’m...

THE LOEBE LOWDOWN: December 2011
Happy holidays! I hope that you are enjoying this season and relishing in the fun of gifting, eating, and having an excuse to be extra perky to strangers. I love it. This will be my last update of the year, so let me say, very explicitly, that I am overwhelmingly grateful for all of the kindnesses I have received in 2011, many of them from people who are on...

WHAT *SHOULD* YOU SING AT YOUR AUDITION FOR THE VOICE, SEASON 2?! (July 19, 2011)
First of all, THANK YOU to everyone who has written asking for advice about your auditions for season 2 of The Voice. I’ve tried to write back to all of you, and I’m flattered that you would seek my advice. One questions I’ve gotten a lot is “What should I sing?” That’s a great...
CALIFORNIA TRIP, PART 1 (July 9, 2011)
Greetings from gate 46A of LAX international airport. It is 5:14 am, Pacific time, and I have arrived safely at my gate. As usual, I have more than an hour to kill before boarding starts, so I thought I’d take a minute to update you on what I’ve been up to. I flew out to California almost two weeks ago. This impetus for this trip was an...

THE VOICE: THE FINAL FRONTIER (unnecessary star trek reference) (May 26, 2011)
I had a wonderful time in Austin watching Episode 5 of “The Voice,” aka The Last Episode I Will Be In. The airdate happened to coincide with my dear friend Elizabeth’s birthday, and she graciously agreed to let us have a birthday cookout/viewing party at her lovely home. I watched the show with a...

BEES & ZOMBIES: ORIGINS AND EXPLANATIONS
Dear DJ/Person,
Here’s my latest release, a sorta goofy B-sides EP called “Bees & Zombies.” I call the title track a protest showtune. It’s mostly about the disappearing bee crisis, and it also touches on the de-planeting of pluto, the re-extinction of the brontosaurus and the probable zombie apocalypse as it relates to...

WHEN THE ZOMBIES COME… (March 18, 2011)
At the very end of February, it was my extreme privilege to make my first-ever music video with an incredibly talented all-star guerrilla film crew. This all started because Atlanta film maven Jessica Mason wrote a wonderful, sweet and funny script for my song “The Bees,” the title track of my new EP “Bees & Zombies.” To...

THE ONGOING ADVENTURES OF OLD GLORY: The Tale of the Gold Tooth
This is a story best told in pictures.
Once upon a time, on a slightly cold-ish evening, a young folk singer named Rebecca used too much strength in attempting to open her locked car door. Moments later, the door handle looked like this:
Sad and confused, she called upon her friend Handy Man Bob. HMB sent her to a magical...
THE LOEBE LOWDOWN, Dec 14 2010
Greetings and happy hollydaze from sunny yet surprisingly frigid Florida! I hope that you are having a lovely month of December, eating lots of cookies and pies and buying tacky knick knacks for your loved ones (at least that’s how *I* like the spend the month of December). If you’re new to the Lowdown, welcome! If you’re an old friend,...

Greetings from coastal North Carolina! My two days off at Grandma’s are coming to a rapid close (if my calculations are correct, I was supposed to be on the road twenty two minutes ago…), but before I drive to Charleston to pick up Mr. Robby Hecht and kick off my two week duo tour with him, I wanted to share some exciting news with you: * ATLANTA!

REMIX CONTEST!
Hey all — A friend suggested recently that I put a dance remix of “Land & Sea” from my new album Mystery Prize on a B-sides EP I’m working on. I think it’s an awesome idea, but I have no idea how to do it…do you?! I’m appealing to you, the masses, to consider downloading the individual tracks from the recording session and tweaking/chopping/thumping...
Big Radio News, Remix Contest & Upcoming Tour...
Greetings from blustery New England! When I woke up this morning, it was chilly and although the snow had not yet started to fall, it felt like everyone within two hundred miles was holding their breath and waiting for it. Maybe that’s why it was so cold? Around 1 PM, the winter fairies began working their magic and dumping a substance that looks like it should taste like a...

First couple of reviews for Mystery Prize!
Exciting times, my new album Mystery Prize was formally released last Tuesday, January 12. I’m still working on sending it out for press to US print, but a few blogs have gotten ahold of it and I have two reviews to share.

An IndieFolksinger's Guide to 2009
Everyone’s excited about the new year, and I am too. I’ve found that I’m adapting surprisingly well to writing 2010; there must be something inside me that’s ready to move forward. That being said, 2009 treated me very kindly; it was by far the most successful year in my professional/musical life, and on a personal front I made just enough dumb mistakes to move a couple...

We're Not Kidding! How I got involved with the BLP...
As a child in Northern Virginia, I grew up listening to a Maryland-based children’s artist named Barry Louis Polisar. He has been writing/recording quirky, funny, strange songs for kids and adults for over 30 years. At age 5 I got to see a concert he gave at a nearby private school, and he was probably the first solo guitar playing singin’ songwriter that I ever saw perform live. In...

Hey all, Greetings from Austin, TX. Yes, it’s hot here. Yes, my hair has inflated to dimensions I once never thought possible. It’s probably time to leave. I’m pointing Old Glory (my ‘92 Toyota Wagon, for those of you catching this program already in progress) east tomorrow, and playing a bunch of fun shows along the way. Take a look at the list of upcoming shows and...

…last night i dropped my phone in the toilet of a public rest room for the second time in my life. also, incidentally, for the second time in the past three weeks. raina suggested that perhaps there is a universal force that does not want me to communicate right now. or maybe it’s just a sign that i’m supposed to slow the hell down. something to think about. at any rate,...
