Rachel and her band will provide the audience with an intricate collection of acoustic songs. She plays mostly original music, but she also includes traditional country and Americana songs in her sets. If there are specific country or Americana songs that you'd like to hear, just let her know ahead of time and the band will put together a thoughtful arrangement. Her influences include artists/songwriters like Lee Ann Womack, Miranda Lambert, Brandy Clark, John Denver, Clint Black, and Kris Kristofferson. The band includes dynamic lead vocals, acoustic and electric guitars, string bass, and vocal harmonies.

The lyrics in her original songs have often touched the hearts of her audience members, bringing them to tears!

Rachel can bring her own sound system or use the house equipment. Her sound system can fill a large room and she'll just need some space to set things up. If house equipment is preferred and she is just working with one guitarist, she'll simply need two vocal mics and she'll need to plug in 2 acoustic guitars. If a small acoustic band is desired using house equipment, she'll need 2 vocal mics, and she'll need to plug in 2 -3 guitars. The upright bassist uses his own amp.
