Rebecca Newton, has been labelled “The Triangle’s Impresario” by NC-based journalist Jack Bernhardt. Rebecca cut her musical teeth on show tunes and vaudeville acts as a young child of the late 50s and early 60s. Her first LP record was a 78, which her Grandmother bought for in her home state of Washington. She’d been to her 5th birthday dinner, at a restaurant called ‘Steve’s Gay 90s’ where she witnessed a Barber Shop Quartet comprised of banjo and ukulele-playing, pinstriped- suit-wearing men with straw hats who were singing impeccable harmonies. The record was a 78rpm of Sophie Tucker’s called “Cabaret Days” (1954), which she still owns.
