At the concert, Rebeka performed with a full band, teaming up with two Long Island musicians; Linda Macklay (percussion) and Bob Donaghy (electric bass) as well as Halifax musician Chris Iannetti on lead guitar.

Also while in the Big Apple, Rebeka gave a special Mother's Day performance at CB's 313 Gallery in New York's SoHo District. The performance gave those who attended a chance to hear Rebeka perform an acoustic set in a very intimate environment.

Next on Rebeka's calendar is a performance on the 18th Annual IWK Telethon on May 31st at 9:10 PM. The show will be broadcast live on the ATV network from Halifax, Nova Scotia.
