Decisions And Desires | |

Originally from Berkeley, CA, Rachel moved to New York to record Bound to be Mountains, a collection of 12 new songs, independently released in June 2008. A recent review notes that Rachel’s “music and lyrics both demonstrate an ability to create concise, precise, and brightly colorful stories that fit into three-minute songs but feel complete.”(K.Melloy)
Rachel tours nationally, performing at venues such as the Bitter End in New York and the Freight and Salvage in Berkeley where she recorded a live album several years ago. She has been a finalist in the Telluride troubadour contest in Colorado, and was honored with first prize in the Apple and Eve Talent Search at the Newport Folk Festival.
After touring cross-country in a bio-diesel van, Rachel wrote a song called "Alternative Fuel" that was recently selected for the soundtrack of Fields of Fuel, the audience choice winner at this year's Sundance Film Festival. Her songs have aired on Click and Clack’s Car Talk, Amy Goodman’s Democracy Now!, and college and community radio stations throughout the country. |
Balanced on the counter ledge We paint our lives with such precision My feet are high above the floor We paint our lives with such precision Some days are all about escape By sunset you are holding me We paint our lives with such precision
