The Courtyard Series: Rachel Drew Band
Rachel Drew grew up in a musical household on the north side of Chicago singing 3-part harmony with her parents, getting lost in imaginary songs on the family piano, and dancing wildly to dusty classical records. She's now a mom, a prolific songwriter, a fixture in multiple Chicago groups and musical residencies, and a frequent close harmony singer on other people's records. Rachel's band offers soulful ballads and moderate rockers drenched in late-night honky-tonk ambiance no matter the time of day. The songs are soaked in blues, country and western, and rockabilly, half originals and half covers.
B and: Rachel Drew on vocals and guitar, John Szymanski on vocals and guitar, Aaron Smith on vocals and bass, Jason Batchko on drums
