Manchester Bluegrass Sweetheart, Becky Buller to Release New Single

Becky’s new single drops on Friday, July 25, 2025, via all the places you like to stream and download your music these days.

Becky says that Katie Wojtalewicz introduced her to Simon & Garfunkel’s music when they were in high school.  Becky says, “I devoured their delicious harmonies and savored Paul’s splendid writing.  They sustained me through the youthful angst and are still one of my safety zones. Whether The Bangles brought this song to you in the ’80s or you learned it from the source in the ’60s…or the ’90s, in my case…I sincerely hope you enjoy our version of “A Hazy Shade Of Winter,” featuring my fantastic road band (Ned Luberecki, banjo; Wes Lee, mandolin; Daniel “The Hulk” Hardin, bass; Jacob Groopman, guitar) with Alan Bartram (Del McCoury Band, Travelin’ McCourys) and Stephen Mougin (Sam Bush Band, Dark Shadow Recording)”.

Buller is the recipient of 10 IBMA awards, including the 2016 Fiddler and Female Vocalist. She is the first woman to receive the Fiddler nod; she is also the first person 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 guest appearances on WSM’s Grand Ole Opry and tours with the Becky Buller Band. Distance And Time, her third album for the Dark Shadow Recording label, was a nominee for the 2021 IBMA Album award. Her first Christmas collection, The Perfect Gift, released during the 2022 holiday season. 

Buller 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).
