She may not be a household name yet, but singer songwriter Rebecca Henricks has been singing her way into the hearts of people across America for many years! Her dynamic personality and interesting life story captivate a diversity of audiences.

Rebecca began singing gospel at the age of 5 with her family, performing for churches throughout Texas. By age 11, she was writing her own music and began singing country music as well.

Years later, Rebecca married Astronaut Tom Henricks, who flew on 4 Space Shuttle missions. The media exposure enabled Rebecca to share her experiences and music through national television, newspaper interviews and personal appearances. Her story leaves you with a unique and rare look into the life of an Astronaut's wife. Being an exceptional songwriter, Rebecca wrote the crucial lyrics to "A Heart At Peace" for the families of Columbia, STS-107.

Rebecca sings country, gospel, and patriotic music at festivals, opry's, churches, revivals, schools and conferences. Her music has been described as "outlaw country" and is a unique mixture of soul and bluegrass with a distinct Texas flavor.

Rebecca debuts her first country/western CD appropriately titled "Stagecoach Road." It features a collection of classic country styles, from upbeat bluegrass to heart felt ballads. Her songs are full of thoughtful lyrics, humorous stories and heart touching sentiments. Rebecca's music and concerts take you on a ride full of laughter, maybe some tears and leave you ready to two-step the night away!
