"Steering With My Feet" The Wasted Times of Tanqueray while we introduce you Being
compared to Nanci Griffith or Lucinda Williams doesn't bother Rachel Owen.
Neither does being compared to Tom Petty or Elvis Costello!
As a young girl growing up in Walton, Kentucky, her musical influences
ranged from obscure folk & bluegrass to the musical giants of jazz & big
band to R&B and rock 'n' roll. When you experience her live performance
or hear her recordings, it is easy to hear this diversity at work. Plus,
she has a knack for making it all fit together. |

After
a formative background of "eye-opening"
college days playing for college groups as well as biker bars and a couple
of long stays in England, Rachel moved to Nashville in 1994 to sharpen
her songwriting skills and take her shot among the throng of wannabes.
While it's not all been a smooth ride, the hard knocks have been transformed
into thought-provoking musical vignettes combining intelligence and humor
often touched with painful honesty. If you must put a name on her musical
style, call it "adult alternative".
If you said "dynamic vocals
and catchy melodies that don't get in the way of thoughtful lyrics,"
that would be right too. Rachel
resides in Nashville where she is a sought-after songwriter, performer
and studio vocalist. Her Dr. Earl Music release Steering With My Feet
is currently available on RealGoodRecords.com |
