Rachel Harrington with Rod Clements

18 September 2010
Chapel Arts Centre
Seattle country-soul sensation Rachel Harrington is the rising star of Americana, who is keeping the ancient art of the musical storyteller alive. The source of her inspiration comes from her early life in a strict Pentecostal family in Oregon & her musical influences, including gospel music & her father’s secret soul record collection, which she would listen to when the family were out at church. Her songs and stories mine a rich seam of American roots and country music which stretches all the way back to the early settlers. From the crossroads of country, folk & bluegrass Rachel is a roots musician in the purest sense whose unique artistry captures the deep link between country and soul.
Rachel will be accompanied by the inimitable Rod Clements, solo singer-songwriter and master slide guitarist and Bert Jansch collaborator and producer, dobro guru and Lindisfarne founder member whose illustrious credentials read like a who’s who of the folk-roots world.
