Rachel’s voice has been described as “passionate\,” “soulful\,” “songbird-like\,” and her diverse and lyrical songwriting infused with folk\, jazz and blues influences. Her newest single “Right Where You Are” is out now on all major streaming platforms \nLindsay Hargrave\, Host – Open Mic to follow \nSetlist by @khaleelmason
