Becca Mancari Celebrates Vulnerable, Resilient New Album ‘Left Hand’ at The Blue Room Tonight, Oct. 6

From the dreamy, forlorn indie folk and Americana of 2017 debut album Good Woman, to the grittier, more indie rock leaning 2020 sophomore effort The Greatest Part, to supergroup Bermuda Triangle, alongside Brittany Howard and Jesse Lafser, to collaborations with other renowned local artists like Hayley Williams and Julien Baker, eclectic singer-songwriter Becca Mancari has, without a doubt, been responsible for some of the best and most profound music to come out of Nashville since first arriving to the city just over a decade ago.

After a bit of a quiet recent stretch, which included some dark periods of personal tumult, and healing on the other side as they crafted their latest, Mancari (who identifies and non-binary and uses they/them pronouns) returned over the summer with third album Left Hand. Self-produced, with assistance from longtime collaborator Juan Solorzano and mixing from Carlos de la Garza, the record includes features from friends and fellow Nashville artists Brittany Howard, Julien Baker, and HalfNoise and Paramore’s Zac Farro, and has been met with widespread acclaim, particularly for singles “Over and Over,” “Don’t Even Worry,” and “Homesick Honeybee.”

Named for the Mancari family crest from the Italian region of Calabria in which a left hand holds a dagger (Becca is of Italian and Puerto Rican heritage, and found metaphoric meaning about acceptance in that crest, and its embrace of instead of forced correction of being born with a non-dominant hand), Left Hand is an album of joy, radical self-acceptance, vulnerability, and navigating hardship with strength and resilience. In the midst of a headlining tour, and on the heels of a run supporting Joy Oladokun, Mancari returns home tonight, Oct. 6, to play Third Man Records’ The Blue Room along with alt/indie artist girlpuppy! Tickets are still available here while they last, and we encourage you not to miss out on one of Nashville’s most talented, earnest, and important singer-songwriters in Becca Mancari.

Becca Mancari and girlpuppy will perform tonight, Oct. 6 at The Blue Room. The show is all ages, beings at 8 p.m. (doors at 7 p.m.) and tickets are available for $29.77.
