Becky Blue, a songwriter who loves to sing rock and blues, will be performing this weekend in Lewisburg. Listen in to hear how she started singing and developed her musical interests and talent, as well as three of her songs.

Fans of music in the Central Susquehanna Valley know the name, and for those who have heard Ann Kerstetter sing, it is impossible to forget her powerful, raspy voice.

Did you know, however, that she was the region’s first female vocalist to regularly front a band — in 1969? Or that after taking some time away from the Valley’s music scene to raise her family, that she returned to win the Billtown Blues Festival and earn a trip to Memphis? Or that she recently had a unique opportunity to play with colleagues in the Czech Republic?

Ann tells us all about these events in more in The Daily Item's podcast.
