RACHEL DREW & JOHN SYZMANSKI
August 2 @ 8:30 pm
$20RACHEL DREW is a singer-songwriter from Chicago celebrated for her soulful voice and catchy, self-penned tunes that blend pop, folk, and soul. She grew up singing 3-part harmony with her parents and making up songs on the family piano. For Rachel, music and harmony are home, medicine, and pure connection. Joining her on guitar is JOHN SYZMANSKI, a seasoned player with deep roots in the Midwest music scene. John has played with Jon Langford, Bethany Thomas, and The Bright Shiners, and his intricate, expressive guitar work adds depth and nuance to Rachel’s already compelling performances.
Alan Harrison of The Rocking Magpie writes of Old Sky New, “There’s something of a hint of Dusty in Memphis, minus the strings here; as Rachel has a similar breathy and pearlescent voice that reels you in, and before you know it you’re sitting totally engrossed in the offering coming out of the speakers… In many ways songs like Stuck In The House All Day and Please Don’t Wake Me Up are Classic Country songs; but the arrangements are pure Laurel Canyon at its height when Linda Ronstadt and Mama Cass could do no wrong.”
