About Rebecca Folsom
and the
Sanctuary Album

FYC: Sanctuary Video | Best Music Video

Sanctuary is a beautiful tapestry of songs written with or for marginalized communities, each with a message of hope, an intimate light shining on cultural shadows, and an offering of positive solutions. The music of Sanctuary is woven from deeply powerful social justice outreach programs that create empowerment through self-expression and utilize music as a humanitarian bridge. Rooted in folk and gospel, Sanctuary moves from lilting folk ballads to sing-along gospel anthems. Produced by 3-time Grammy® winning producer Tom Wasinger and 5-time Grammy® winning producer Shaun Martin.

Americana Highways calls Sanctuary, “…simply impressive” and “…worthy of awe.”

Rebecca’s world-class voice moves through a four-octave range to pluck the instrument of the heart. Her songwriting courageously touches human vulnerabilities and disparities then arcs with hope and solution towards a positive future. From tender ballads to full, fiery vocal release, Rebecca inspires passionate aliveness. Westword Magazine says, “Her songs hit like little earthquakes.”

Praise for Sanctuary

Americana Highways

“The songs of Sanctuary are….worthy of awe. Each song is carefully loaded with its message, its transformative instrumentation, and Rebecca’s remarkable vocals…simply impressive.”

Vents Magazine

Empowering anthems, an incredible showcase of talent, an intimate telling of universal stories.

Rebecca sharing on career moves for success in Songwriting Magazine, UK

“Lead with generosity, walk into a room with the thought "How can I help? What can I do to support someone or make their life better?" People feel your generosity. It generates aliveness and excitement. Shift to generosity and you resonate abundance and offering - a magnetizing resonance. Shift to "What can I give?" and watch the doors open and opportunities unfold.”

Len Holton KUAR Radio

Rebecca Folsom is an emissary of love and courage, offering a dynamic infusion of truth, humor, hope and possibility.

Deni LaRue KRFC Radio

“A stunning anthem for our time! The songs on the Sanctuary album connect our hearts to the hearts of others by bringing to light many of the challenging realities of the 21st century.”

Congressman Joe Neguse on Rebecca’s live performance of the songs of Sanctuary

”This is the best music I’ve heard at one of these events since I became a congressman.”
