Becky Buller is the first person in the 27-year history of the International Bluegrass Music (IBMA) awards to ever win in both an instrumental and vocal category. That’s right, folks. EVER! In fact, this fiery-haired fiddling St. James, Minn., native has garnered FIVE IBMA awards in the last two years: the 2016 Fiddler and Female Vocalist along with 2015 Songwriter, Emerging Artist and Recorded Event Of The Year for her version of Bill Monroe’s “Southern Flavor”. She heads up the Becky Buller Band and has written songs recorded by some of the best in the industry, including Ricky Skaggs, Rhonda Vincent, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, and the Infamous Stringdusters, just to name a few. She penned the title cut of Special Consensus’ album Scratch Gravel Road, a 2013 Bluegrass Album Of The Year Grammy nominee. Becky’s other notable honors include: featured in the July 2015 issue of Bluegrass Unlimited magazine; featured on the Spring 2012 cover of Fiddler magazine; awarded the 2006 IBMA Recorded Event of the Year nod for her work with the Daughters of Bluegrass; and named the 2001 bluegrass category winner at MerleFest’s Chris Austin Songwriting contest. In early 2017, Dark Shadow Recording will release Becky’s fourth solo record, which prominently features her fabulous road band. Her other recordings include: ‘Tween Earth And Sky (Dark Shadow Recording, 2014); Little Bird (Bell Buckle Records, 2004); and Rest My Weary Feet (SRS 2000). Becky can also be heard on Pickin’ Like A Girl (Blue Circle, 2013), by the Daughters of Bluegrass as well as Flying (Organic, 2013) and Snapshots (Mountain Home, 2015) from Darin & Brooke Aldridge and multiple recordings from Valerie Smith & Liberty Pike. After graduating from East Tennessee State University in 2001, Becky spent ten years on the road with Valerie Smith & Liberty Pike and two years with Darin & Brooke Aldridge. In her spare time, Becky teaches vocal, instrumental music, and songwriting in her adopted hometown of Manchester, Tenn, and online around the world; publishes her own compositions; and serves on the IBMA Board Of Directors. The Becky Buller Band is partnered with these amazing companies: BlueChip Picks; D’Addario Strings; DP Hopkins Banjos; Ear Trumpet Labs; Fishman; and LC King Manufacturing, makers of Pointer Brand work and street wear.
