Born in the underground rock factory of Akron Ohio Rachel turned her opera singing pedigree on it's head and has been belting out her quixotic cocktail of 1 part Joni Mitchell, 1 part Tori Amos a splash of Jeff Buckley with a lemon twist of Led Zepplin since she was 14. Performing as both a solo singer songwriter as well as the front woman for Rachel's Secret Stache, (Original Retro Rock to the core) Rachel both mesmerizes and throttles her fans into an epic rush.
Having finished her second west coast tour, and recently performing with Chrissie Hynde, DEVO, The Black Keys, and Joseph Arthur, Rachel has written the new campaign theme song for the 93 Cents for Flight 93 campaign, titled "You Won't Stand Alone." Expanding her universe into theater, Rachel has been asked back time and again to the BANG AND CLATTER THEATER as an actress and also as the sound track writer for Tracy Letts "Bug." Rachel is also putting the finishing touches on her second solo album LIGHTNING LOVES THE KITE as well as beginning work on her new album with her band, RACHEL'S SECRET STACHE titled, THE BROWN BAG.
Rachel lives in Akron Ohio.
More to come.
