What's on

Rachel Harrington is a roots musician whose unique artistry captures the deep link between country and soul. From the crossroads of gospel, folk and bluegrass, her songs tell personal and mythical stories from the American West. Frequently mentioned alongside Gillian Welch and Emmylou Harris, tonight with her Trio she performs songs from her third album Celilo Falls with tales of bar-room brawls, starlit weepers, the longings of lost love and family sorrow.

“Few female artists come close to matching Gillian Welch’s song craft and honesty. Rachel Harrington is an exception. ‘Celilo Falls’ is a brilliant album that any self respecting folk-roots fan should snap up immediately.” ~ WHISPERINANDHOLLERIN (March 2011)
