It's been quite a journey for Rebecca. Born in Cambridge, MA and raised in Edinburgh, Scotland, she gravitated towards music as a child. Mom and dad introduced her to the likes of The Beatles, while she eventually discovered artists ranging from Kate Bush to Siousxie and the Banshees on her own. She fronted the band Ruby Blue for two records before relocating to the United States where she launched her solo career. Fan favorite LPS followed such as The Raven [1994], The New York Girls’ Club [1996], The Four Marys [1998], Tough On Crime [2000], and Behind the Velvet Curtain [2008]—which contributed four songs to the critically acclaimed film Red Belt. The ensuing decade saw her release Slingshot [2011], Blue Dress On [2013], Bad Poetry [2014], and Sudden Exposure to Light [2019]. Praising the latter, American Songwriter affirmed, “She’s the real deal,” and Glide Magazine noted, “Pidgeon’s prolific work as a songwriter and vocalist is akin to the self-immersion she undertakes for her mesmerizing performances on camera.”
