Becca Stevens

Becca Stevens is a 2X GRAMMY-nominated songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer known for her emotionally resonant, genre-defying music. Drawing from her roots in Appalachian folk, her background in jazz, and a love of experimental indie, she creates songs that are as technically daring as they are deeply human. Though often likened to genre-bending artists like Joni Mitchell or Björk, Stevens has carved a voice and sound that are instantly recognizable: all at once tender, agile, and emotionally rooted. Her work has resonated deeply with a generation of musicians navigating life beyond genre.

Lauren Kravitz & Shantel Prado

Lauren Kravitz & Shantel Prado

Lauren Kravitz and Shantel Prado have been friends and collaborators for the past 15 years. They met in 2011 as undergraduate dance students at NYU Tisch School of the Arts—where they also met Jess!—and have created and performed their duet work in venues throughout New York and Texas ever since. Their work primarily examines relationships, investigating how two identities, bodies, weights, and surfaces meet, connect, and respond. Lauren is currently pursuing a graduate degree in dance at Smith College. Shantel is the Marketing and Communications Manager for the Mark Morris Dance Group and runs the digital archive for Pageant.

“my best friend say is an exploration of friendship, interweaving practices of listening, care, support and play. When Jess and Reeca asked us to share something this evening, we were humbled and knew what we wanted to perform almost immediately. We hope this work embodies both the deep care and friendship that we have with Jess, and the unwavering care, trust, and joy in Jess and Reeca’s relationship. We’re so honored to be celebrating their union, and we wish them endless love, joy, connection, and discovery for many years to come.”
