Show notes

Welcome to Roadcase!! We're simply elated to have Becca Mancari on the show this week. Becca has travelled many roads in her young life and is now a fixture in the Nashville music community. Her personal story is one of seeking identity, both from a personal and musical perspective, and one she is very proud to share. Having spent the majority of her time off the road working on herself and changing her own perspective, she is reaping the benefits of a renewed outlook on life; one of massive positivity and self-acceptance both of her own self and her relationship to the past -- and one that has brought her to a place of real optimism about the future and what she has to offer musically. While her most recent work from 2020, The Greatest Part, represented a change in sonic direction from her first album, Good Woman, Becca takes pride in presenting a level of positivity both for herself and for her enthusiastic and grateful audience. She is a true beacon of light, and we feel lucky to have her on the Pod to discuss her outlook, artistic direction and personal growth. So hop on the Roadcase bus and learn more about the multi-faceted and truly inspiring Becca Mancari. It's gonna be a great ride!
