TAYLOR SWIFT!!!!
My girl and her friends screamed and shouted as Rachel entered the room to perform. She danced, she sang, took pictures with the entire party and brought my girl a gift!!!
Extremely professional and super awesome person all around. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for a swift impersonator.
Everyone had an excellent time.

Melissa,
I felt like a total celebrity at your daughter's party! I had my own audience of super fans, and I couldn't have loved it more. Great party! Fantastic job!
Thanks for having me,
Rachel
My friends and I booked Rachel to be a Cher impersonator for our 26th birthday party. She was right on time, ready to rock, and created an incredible vibe!!! She looked and sounded so much like Cher! We had a great time and would highly recommend!!!
Rachel was amazing. Very communicative through the process. My daughter and friends believed her to be Taylor swift! Truly a wonderful experience!
Rachel did an amazing job putting on a Taylor Swift themed birthday party for our 8 year old daughter. She communicated efficiently and effectively, arrived well on time to setup, and then changed into costume to come out and surprise my daughter and the birthday party dressed as TS. She was great with the kids, singing along with songs and helping kids find their confidence to join her on “the stage” to sing along. It made for such a fun and unique birthday experience! An all around joy to work with.

Thanks so much, Valeria! Can't wait to play for the next one!
Rachel performed at my 3 year olds birthday party in our backyard. She sang all of her favorite frozen songs and a few other pop and disney songs. My daughter and her friends had a great time dancing and listening to Rachel! She was so much fun!
Rachel Backman has a beautiful and powerful voice, plays a great guitar to accompany herself and has a warm smile! My sister (who is turning 90) was so thrilled with the Streisand medley that she was teary eyed while Rachel was singing. We just loved her!

Thanks Judith!
It was such a pleasure working with you!
Tell Marilyn I'll happily sing in her living room anytime, amongst all the photos of Barbara Streisand. I simply had the BEST time being Barbara for a day, and I'm so glad I did her justice, even in the eyes of a super fan!
I hired Rachel to sing and greet my husband on the morning of his 41st birthday and was blown away by how amazing she performs and sings! Our kids were pleasantly surprised as well and were up front and center enjoying her singing. I will be booking her for the next time I need a singing telegram:) so so happy

Thanks so much, Nina! I love making a birthday guy's day. So glad I got so sing for your husband! (though I think the kids liked it just as much)
My buddy had a party that I could not make. I sent in Rachel in a Chicken Suit and she sang to them. Pure Gold. She gave them better memories than if I were there!!

Response from Rachel Bachman:
Thanks so much for the great review! I’ll gladly come to any party in a chicken suit.
We hired Rachel to sing to our grandmother for her 80th birthday in lieu of us being able to attend her party and it was the best gift we ever could have given her! Our interaction with Rachel before, during, and after the performance was top tier. Her pre-performance communication was prompt and professional. She learned a new song to perform for grandma. Viewing the performance video she did a wonderful job! She even incorporated a special rendition of the happy birthday song into the piece we asked her to perform. My grandmother loved her performance so much that she invited Rachel to return to sing for the actual birthday party 48 hours later. If you’re in need of someone to bring a stellar performance as a gift, singing telegram, etc. Rachel is definitely the person you want to hire!

Thank you so much, Laura! Looking forward to more events with you.
Rachel saved me from a weeks of condemnation by arriving as scheduled as a singing telegram for my partner’s birthday. Her rendition of I’m a Believer was personalized to my partner and I and she killed it. She’s wildly friendly, courteous, and awesome. 10/10 would book again.

Thank you so much for the rave review! You and your partner are awesome, and your dog is pretty cute too.
Rachel was great. She was fun personable and professional She performed a beautiful singing telegram for my mothers 83rd birthday. She sang beautifully a few favorite songs incorporating some of my moms personal details. 💜Big smiles from Mom and all of us . It was a great way to start my Moms day.. We all loved it. Highly recommend Rachel. 💜
Rachel performed a singing telegram for my sister's birthday and it was the highlight of the evening! My sister and her friends talked about it ALL NIGHT and were so impressed and touched by Rachel's thoughtful and impressive performance (she even incorporated information about my sister and her puppies!) With the world at war, the economy in the dumps and being surrounded by political strife, having someone like Rachel bring joy - actual joy - is such a precious and wonderful experience. She even drove THREE HOURS (round trip) for the gig and brought a balloon and chocolate bar for the birthday girl. I cannot recommend her enough, please hire Rachel!

Always happy to make a birthday girl's night! :)
Amazing! I booked Rachel for a graduation party. Rachel was quick to respond and very easy to communicate with through the entire booking! She was very professional, prompt and warm on the day of the event. Everyone at the party loved her vibe and commented on her lively energy. But wait, there’s more! Her voice is rich and colorful and her guitar skills are impressive! I highly recommend Rachel and look forward to using her services again in the future.

Thanks so much for the lovely review, Freddy! I enjoyed helping you make your mom's day.
Rachel was Fantastic. So talented with original and popular music that the entire birthday party could enjoy. She was professional and was so patient when we were running about 30 minutes behind. She stayed late for us to insure she played at least 2 hours we had scheduled. Provided a great atmosphere for a wide variety of guest with a variety of music interest. Would recommend her to all my friends!!
Rachel has been playing at my bar for a few years now, and every night, people are blown away by her music and showmanship. She is requested for all kinds of events by our customers after hearing her play. Our most complimented and requested act by far. Great talent and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her.
