Kathrine Becker

Striking a diplomatic balance of irreverent cheek and harrowing heartache, Becker sings with a forthright and vibrant voice, yet with a frailty that is disarming. Influenced by vocal jazz, handbells, early Weezer and later Radiohead, her piano arrangements sound more like peppy art song than piano rock, and her lyrical tell-it-like-it-is style leaves little room for guessing. She is fluid onstage, natural in the limelight, and always entertaining.
