Interview with Rebecca Pidgeon. Rebecca returns to talk about her new album Unillusion.
Rebecca Pidgeon was born in Cambridge, MA and raised primarily in Edinburgh, Scotland,
gravitating towards music as a child. Mom and Dad introduced her to the likes of James Taylor,
while she eventually discovered both Kate Bush and The Sex Pistols on her own. She fronted the
band Ruby Blue for three records before relocating to the United States where she launched her
solo career. Fan favorite albums followed including The Raven (1994), The New York Girls’
Club (1996), The Four Marys (1998), Tough On Crime (2000), and Behind the Velvet Curtain
(2008), four songs appearing in the critically acclaimed film Red Belt. The ensuing decade saw
her release Slingshot (2011), Blue Dress On (2013), Bad Poetry (2014), and Sudden Exposure to
Light (2019). Praising the latter, American Songwriter affirmed, “She’s the real deal,” and Glide
Magazine noted, “Pidgeon’s prolific work as a songwriter and vocalist is akin to the self-
immersion she undertakes for her mesmerizing performances on camera.”
In addition, she has captivated audiences on-screen as a much sought-after film and television
actress. Among dozens of credits, she has appeared in celebrated classics such as The Spanish
Prisoner (1997), State and Main (2000), and Heist (2001) opposite the likes of Gene Hackman,
William H. Macy, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Additionally, she has
appeared in blockbusters a la Red (2010) and NETFLIX’s Bird Box (2018), to name a few.
Unillusion offers eloquent testimony to Rebecca Pidgeon’s continuing power as a storyteller on
stage, screen or the recording studio with an uncanny ability to blend narrative depth and musical intimacy in a way that feels both timeless and current.
