We booked Rachel for a family event at our home. She is talented and professional, and made our event a super success! She arrived promptly as scheduled and didn't miss a beat the entire afternoon. I couldn't be happier that we booked Rachel and I look forward to having her back for more events in the future! She is a STAR!
Rachel performed at my husband's 40th birthday party. She was a pleasure to work with! She responded immediately to my inquiry and was very professional throughout the whole process. She sounded great and had a wide variety of songs that she played. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a singer/acoustic guitar player.

Her provocative lyrics approach poetry in their elegant simplicity and ability to stand alone. But with the overlay of Rachel's instrumental artistry, her original work provides a bold new language for those who seek a sound with passion and purpose. Even when performing a popular cover song she pays homage to the original artist while also offering her own unique flavor, breathing new life into each song she plays.
