Labels don’t work for not-so-secret group
By: Will C. Franklin

It wasn’t too long ago The New York Times called the Becca Stevens Band a “best-kept secret” after the release of the band’s “Weightless” CD.

For Stevens, whose melodic voice could soothe the most savage of beasts, that simply isn’t good enough.

“I don’t wish to be kept a secret,” Stevens says. “I want my music to reach as many people as it can and make them happy.”

Different websites have labeled the band, which performs at the Weinberg Center for the Arts on Oct. 4, as folk, indie, blues, pop — the list goes on. Stevens, who prefers the term “pop-infused jazz folk,” gets her singing and songwriting talents naturally.
