After three critically acclaimed albums in a row, country soul sensation Rachel Harrington heads for the hills with her fourth CD, a collection of all-new all-original old school country ballads and western honkytonk swing. She's wrangled up three other gals for this tour of the UK - the band comprised of upright bass, drums, fiddle and guitar.
Rachel Harrington has toured tirelessly since the release of her 2007 debut, The Bootlegger’s Daughter (“Four Stars,” Mojo), her follow-up in 2008, City of Refuge (“inspiringly original!” Q), and 2011's Celilo Falls (“Four Stars,” Mojo, Q, The Irish Times). She’s played major festivals throughout Europe and the US, made three live appearances on BBC’s legendary Bob Harris Show, and reached millions of listeners through airplay at Starbucks. A 2011 winner in Merlefest's esteemed songwriting contest (previous winners include Gillian Welch and Tift Merritt), this is Harrington's sixth annual tour of the UK, and her first with a full band.
