The Ross Farm - Basking Ridge

Meet Katie Martucci.

Before Becca Stevens takes the stage Saturday night at Ross Farm, we’ll welcome Brooklyn-based songwriter Katie Martucci for a special opening set.

Katie’s songs explore what she calls the “unspoken third thing in the room”—the emotions, questions, and experiences we don’t always have words for. Drawing from friendships, imposter syndrome, her own journey with epilepsy, and the complicated beauty of everyday life, her music is intimate, cinematic, and deeply human.

“No matter what Katie Martucci chooses to sing, it absolutely captivates us. Her voice is incredible, warm, and personal.” - Ear to the Ground Music

If you love artists like Madison Cunningham, Emily King, or Becca Stevens herself, plan to arrive early - you won’t want to miss Katie’s set.

🎶 Becca Stevens with special guest Katie Martucci
📍 Ross Farm, Basking Ridge
