We spoke with Nashville singer/songwriter Becca Mancari about their latest studio album Left Hand ahead of its release this Friday.
Becca Mancari’s on a mission to remake Nashville. Not totally—the barbecue and Elvis memorabilia can stay—but enough that other queer artists feel safe thriving in the Music City. “In the south, to be…it’s a choice, to battle for your own life, in ways,” Mancari explains, casually, to me over the phone on a light-filled July afternoon. “When you’re outnumbered, you have to find each other.” If there’s anyone meant for the job, it’s the boundary-breaking, indie-folk singer.
Then, two Decembers ago, Mancari’s strictly observant Catholic parents agreed to allow their partner of seven years into their Pennsylvania home for the first time—under the caveat that the couple play-act as though they weren’t one. Mancari left the interaction with the writing bug awoken in their stomach, and then arose. Around the same time, they finally mustered up the courage to start therapy. “You were in a state of survival,” they remember being diagnosed after a decade of dissociation.
