The Becky Buller Band
Becky Buller is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter from St. James, Minn., who has
traversed the globe over performing bluegrass music to underwrite her insatiable songwriting
habit.
Becky has written songs for three Grammy award-winning albums: she co-wrote “Freedom,”
the lead-off track of The Infamous Stringdusters Laws of Gravity (2018 Best Bluegrass Grammy), “The Shaker” on The Travelin’ McCoury’s self-titled release (2019 Best Bluegrass Grammy), and “Good-bye Girl” on Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway’s Crooked Tree album (2023 Best
Bluegrass Grammy). Her compositions can also be heard on records by Ricky Skaggs,
Rhonda Vincent and Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, to name just a few.
Becky is the recipient of 10 IBMA awards, including the 2016 Fiddler and Female Vocalist.
She is the first woman in the history of the awards to receive the Fiddler nod; she is also the
first person ever to win in both vocal and instrumental categories. Her other awards include
the 2020 Collaborative Recording for “The Barber’s Fiddle” and the 2020 Song for co-writing
and fiddling on Special Consensus’ “Chicago Barn Dance.”
She has made multiple guest appearances on WSM’s Grand Ole Opry and tours extensively
with the Becky Buller Band. Becky has released seven albums. Distance And Time, her third
album for the Dark Shadow Recording label, was a nominee for the 2021 IBMA Album award.
Becky’s new album, Jubilee, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Bluegrass Album Chart for the
week of June 1st, 2024. It features her brilliant road band along with special guest and cowriter Aoife O’Donovan. Jubilee is a song cycle that shares the story of Becky’s lifelong
struggle with depression and anxiety, how it reached a crisis point during the pandemic years,and how she made it to the other side.
