If she went on tour I would buy tickets

I live six plus hours one way from my sister. I wanted to send her some cheer. She is a Swiftie. I booked on Gig Salad which is easy. Rachel Bachman is a star. Everyone who has seen the joy on my sister’s face from Rachel’s performance was moved to tears. I will be booking again for my Swifties. Rachel has an incredible stage presence and superior vocals. Thank you so much!

Amazing

I hired Rachel to perform at a friend’s birthday dinner, and I cannot express how perfect she was for the occasion. Her photos suggested a fun and quirky vibe, but nothing prepared us for how fantastic she’d be in person. She showed up in a full chicken costume, guitar in hand, and delivered one of the most delightfully unforgettable performances imaginable.

Her vocals were impressive, her guitar playing was on point, and her comedic timing had everyone laughing. She managed to personalize Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up”, Smash Mouth’s “All Star”, and “Happy Birthday” making them all hilarious and musically awesome — not an easy combination! She fully committed to the bit, embraced the weirdness, and elevated the whole event to something magical.

She blew my expectations out of the water. If you’re looking for a performer who is talented, original, and brings pure chaotic joy to the room, she’s the one. She knocked my socks off, and I’d hire her again in a heartbeat.

Highly, highly recommended! 🐔🎸✨

Ben! Thanks you so much for the absolute rave review! I am beyond thrilled that my weirdness was exactly what you were looking for. These are, by far, my favorite kinds of gigs, and I'll gladly bring my chaotic joy to any of your parties.

Cheers!
Rachel

Rachel/Taylor is awesome!

We had Rachel with her band play at our KidsFest performing a Taylor Swift Tribute show. She and the band were just great. Rachel's spirit and energy onstage are infectious and captivated the audience. Her show (it really was a show, not just a series of songs) was all that we had hoped it would be. Several costume changes provided different looks during the show, kept things interesting and the audience involved in the very interactive show.

We can't say enough about how great the experience was with Rachel and the band. She was a pleasure to work with. She totally understood what we were hoping for and delivered in a big way.

VERY highly recommended!

Thanks Rachel

Rob, thank you so much for the rave review. It was so amazing having our first full band show at Kids Fest! We worked hard to put on a great show, and I’m thrilled that you and the audience were having as much fun as we were. Here’s to many more shows in the future!

Terrific Taylor Swift impersonation

Rachel was just amazing! I hired her to perform at my mom's 75th birthday party, and she was very accommodating with providing different package options that fit what I was looking for and was within my budget. She sang multiple songs for my mom and made sure to perform her very favorite song (Bad Blood), sang Happy Birthday, and brought my mom a birthday balloon and a special friendship bracelet. The video we took of her giving the friendship bracelet to my mom really gives me a warm feeling seeing the look on my mom's face. It's clear that Rachel made the day special for her. She also took lots of pictures with everyone, so now we have plenty of memories of the occasion! I highly recommend booking her if you are thinking about doing so. You will not regret it!
