There's no fee for this event; instead, please consider donating online to Heartwood Soundstage during the concert.

The remainder of my shows this year are with The Krickets.  Lauren, Emily and I are excited to return to the Gulf Coast in November for The Frank Brown International Songwriters' Festival.  We had an absolute blast last year! The festival has not announced the schedule but we'll post updates on The Krickets website as well as our Facebook page.  

Also in November, The Krickets will be playing my hometown for the first time ever! Folk artist Janet Moses is hosting the concert in her beautiful loft just above Blue Goose Studio in downtown Lake City on Saturday, November 14th. The wonderfully talented Kayla Williams will open the show. It's sure to be a special evening. There are just a few tickets left. Contact Janet at The Blue Goose Studio for tickets 386.249.4625 or artistjanetmoses@gmail.com ASAP to get yours!

We'll be teaming up with our buddies, The Currys, to spread holiday cheer at our annual Christmas show at the Monticello Opera House Saturday, December 12.  We're still finalizing details for this show.  We'll post updates on The Krickets website as well as our Facebook page as they become available.  

Thank you all for your love and support! Have a Safe and Happy Fall!

Much Love,

Rachel

Music on the horizon

Hello Dear Friends,

Happy Fall!  We're finally getting some cooler weather here in Florida (52 degrees this morning).  Time to break out the sweaters and scarves!
Picture

I've spent the past couple of months settling into a groove with The Krickets.  Along the way, I picked up  a new instrument (the ukelele bass) which is really fun to play!  I've had a great time learning The Krickets cool originals, working on cover tunes, and developing new arrangements.  My bandmates, Lauren and Emily, are tremendously talented singer-songwriters and performers.  It's a joy making music with them.  I'm excited for you to hear our sound!

There's so much music on the horizon!  Most of my upcoming shows are with The Krickets but I'll be doing a very special solo show Friday, December 6th.   A Christmas Loft Concert will be hosted by Janet Moses in her artist loft just above Blue Goose Studio in downtown Lake City.  I'll be performing some of my original music along with a few of my Christmas favorites.  The New 76er's from Tallahassee will be there too! So come join us for some hometown holiday fun!

Dear Friends,

I am happy to announce that I'm joining musical forces with my friends, The Krickets!  The Krickets are an award-winning female Americana band who tour throughout the Southeast.  Lauren, Emily, and I have known each other for about three years and have played many of the same festivals.  I've long-admired The Krickets for their sound and gifted songwriting.  I am honored to be joining the group!  We have performances scheduled at venues in Florida and Alabama this Fall with more to come!  You can keep up with us via www.thekrickets.com, Facebook or Instagram. 

While I will be focusing on learning new material for the next few months, I will continue to write and perform my original songs in venues around North Central Florida. 

As always, thank you for supporting my music.  I look forward to sharing more musical adventures with you soon!

It's been six months since the release of "Twists and Tangles."  A huge "THANK YOU" for all of your support!   It is so encouraging to me!

I'm excited to announce that many radio stations around the country and in Europe have added songs from "Twists and Tangles" to their rotations.   Most of these stations allow you to tune in online so give them a listen and drop them a note to let them know I sent you!
