Becky Warren
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Becky Warren is a singer-songwriter and guitarist based in Nashville, Tennessee. She has won both the MerleFest Songwriting Contest and the Kerrville New Folk Competition.[1] She formerly performed with the Boston-based alternative country band The Great Unknowns as their frontwoman, beginning in 2003.[2][3] In 2016, she released her solo debut album, War Surplus, a concept album that follows a fictional couple, Scott, and his girlfriend-turned-wife, June. Warren performs all of the album's songs from either Scott's or June's perspective. The album is based on Warren's own life, as she married a soldier in 2005 who was deployed to fight in the Iraq War soon afterward. When he returned, he had developed posttraumatic stress disorder.[4] Four years after they married, Warren and her husband divorced.[5] Warren spent four year writing the songs on War Surplus.[6]
