Elmore Magazine shares new single from award-winning Nashville singer/songwriter Becky Warren

Over a decade ago, Becky Warren made an auspicious debut as part of the critically lauded Boston alt-country outfit the Great Unknowns. But soon, threatened to get in the way of musical success. Warren fell in love and married a soldier, only to lose him a mere week later when he was deployed to Iraq. Over the following years, she struggled with their long distance relationship, and felt his pain acutely when he returned home with PTSD, the trauma of the experience forcing her into an extended hiatus from singing and songwriting. “The whole time I wasn’t writing, it was very painful for me,” she shared with Elmore. “I couldn’t even really listen to music, because it made me feel terrible. I was thinking about everything I was missing.” Eventually, the two came to a mutual divorce agreement and Warren slowly took up her pen, finding that she could ease the pain and come alive again by releasing her soul into the music. With her fellow Great Unknowns scattered across the country, she began a career as a solo artist, and it wasn’t long before she won both the prestigious Merlefest Songwriting Competition in 2014 and the Kerrville New Folk competition in 2015.
