<h4>ABOUT THIS SHOW</h4>
“Along with the badassery, Rachael Yamagata brings a world-weary passion to her singing. Her voice is a soul-baring, sultry instrument that commands center stage at all times. She has that deliberate, I’ll-sing-the-note-when-I’m-ready pacing that helped make Amy Winehouse great, and before her Billie Holliday.” — ASSOCIATED PRESS
<h4>RACHAEL YAMAGATA</h4>

Her ‘troubadour of heartbreak’ songs are tonic for anyone who’s been run over by love.
She named her indie label after a walking fish.

Stage fraught, but you’d never know it.
Once wore plastic bath mat flowers in her hair for a show at Madison Square Garden.
Celebrity crush = Bill Nighy and Bill Pullman
Favorite New Years – solo trip to the Dominican Republic (on an animal farm)…(the whole trip was not on an animal farm – just that night)
Once run down by a bull.
Videos – trapped in a glass box/ wandering a burned down hotel/ hanging out on a wasp infested boat/ being a bunny (in full bunny attire)/ being splashed by paint/ trying to dance/ Dance Goddess = Allison Janney
