Rebecca Schaffer is an accordion player, theatre maker, and storyteller based out of Whitefish, MT. She studied music throughout childhood, which gave her the platform to self propel her studies in accordion. She learned the instrument entirely on her own, using the internet and methodology books as her guide. 

Her songs are story driven, with a number of originals that take listeners on fantastical journeys. She writes about meeting the devil in London, the mating rituals of praying mantises, the battle cry of an ostracized rooster, a dystopian future without water, and more. Musical influences and covers include Tom Waits, Jacques Brel, Gogol Bordello, Goran Bregovic, Haunted Windchimes, The Decemberists, Beirut, and Yann Tiersen. 

She is a well known theatre maker in Western Montana, and her musical style has been influenced by her successful career in the performing arts. She is the perfect solo performer for breweries, farmers markets, bars, restaurants, and theatrical concerts.
