Rachel Brooke:
Country singer and songwriter Rachel Brooke
Country singer and songwriter Rachel Brooke
channels the darkest nights of American
Southern music, pulling forth influences from
raw, early country singing to blues greats,
Appalachian mountain music to vintage jazz, all
tied together in the framework of her old-
fashioned melodies. It takes a peculiar vision to
be able to unite these many different sounds, but
Brooke’s pulled off the most difficult task: she’s
created a new sound from a pastiche of old
music without sounding derivative. Instead her
music sounds incredibly fresh, sepia-toned
perhaps with the vision of our distant past, but as
rough-edged and hand-honed as the best of
today’s roots music. She’s quite the paradox: a
young songwriter who perfectly embodies the
music of the American South, but who lives in the
wilds of Northern Michigan. An artist who grew
up with parents in a bluegrass band, but who
spent her teen years raging away in an all-girl
punk band. A shy, soft-spoken introvert whose
wall- shaking voice has earned her a place at
cutting- edge roots music festivals like Muddy
Roots, and the Rochester International Jazz
festival. An icon of underground country music
who covers jazz greats like Fats Domino on her
records. But when you sing this well and play like
hell, who do you have to answer to anyways?
Dead Man String Band:
Down to hell and back again is one way to put the feeling behind a lot of the songs currently coming from Dead Man String Band fronted by Northern Kentucky's Rob McAllister. With songs of loss, persistence, and a little tongue in cheek.
Dead Man String Band has headlined the stage at Fountain Square (Cincinnati), played Bunbury Music Festival, headlined the CincyMusic Relaunch Party (2016), and is a staple in the Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati Music Scene.
