Rebecca Lynn Howard is today’s guest on Stories Behind the Songs!

Rebecca is an artist and songwriter who has cuts with artists like Martina McBride, Trisha Yearwood, and John Michael Montgomery. Her 2002 single, Forgive, is a crowd-favorite here at The Listening Room, so we dive into the story behind that song – including how Faith Hill almost cut it until Rebecca played it for her own A&R guy and knew it was meant for her. 

In this episode, we also discuss her clever 2024 single, "Hoedown” written with Nathan and Stephanie Chapman, her longtime friendship and collaborative relationship with Lee Brice, being influenced by all-time great vocalist, Trisha Yearwood, and playing bass in her band, The Loving Mary Band, which was featured on Steven Tyler’s 2016 country album, We’re All Somebody From Somewhere.

Rebecca also performs a killer verse/chorus of “Forgive” and “Hoedown”. 

With an album coming out in the next year and continuing to tour on-and-off with Lee Brice, make sure to stay tuned with all that Rebecca has going on!
