Details:
At three years old, Becky Alter picked up her daddyâs guitar, posed and said, âIâm gonna be Star of the Worldâ. And so set the stage of many years of garage bands, college punk and indie scenes, and dark, dingy barsâ¦anywhere to play her music. In the last 4 years she has managed to take her band, The December Question, to huge success regionally. Most recently, she received accolades from Denverâs premier music editor, Dave Herrera of Westword Newspaper. Quoted in his âCriticâs Choiceâ column, âBecky Alter, whose raspy, robust vocals recalled Janis Joplin⦠and carved out a sound that conjures Jefferson Airplane after receiving a Dead Can Dance-like deconstructionâ¦(her) delivery uncannily resembles Grace Slick's.â While maintaining presence fronting her band, Beckyâs solo career has begun to skyrocket. She has gone back to her roots, writing and performing regularly for a crowd devoted solely to her old, new, indie-folk, alt-country, grrrl rock, sound. Her words and music will lure you in and spit you back outâ¦all the better for the turn. Becky Alter has been compared to the likes of Patty Griffin, Ani DiFranco, and Sarah Bettens, with an updated twist of her most admired singer-songwriter, Joni Mitchell.
