Hailing from Ventura's Gold Coast of Southern California, this troubadour writes songs of adventure on the road in her 35 foot, vintage 1971 schoolbus "Patience" with a clever perspective on life. Influenced by the seasoned, bluesy style of Bonnie Raitt, the work ethic of the Grateful Dead and the raw emotion of Janis Joplin, Rachel's stage presence is strong and undeniable. This award winning songwriter is endorsed by Luna Guitars and holds her own touring as a solo act or backed by her top shelf string band having played many of the legendary clubs and venues around the Los Angeles area as well as music festivals such as Live Oak Music Festival and GroovePhest 2010. Rachel is a true entertainer and always great time wherever she may be.
