Sound Circle has performed many of Becky’s songs, and Becky was a featured guest artist for multiple performances of Sound Circle’s “Path of Beauty: Singing the Grand Canyon” concert in Boulder several years ago. A joint performance in Taos has been in their imagination since that earlier collaboration.
