Rachel Croft with support from Paris Adams (The Adelaides)

Rachel Croft is an internationally recognised musician and multidisciplinary artist known for her powerful vocals, cinematic songwriting and electrifying stage presence. Her music has been featured on Netflix and BBC Two, and premiered on major global outlets including CMT in the USA and the BBC. She will be joined on the night by support from Paris Adams, making this intimate Redditch Revival show at The Hart an even more special evening of live music. Tickets are expected to move quickly, so early booking is well worth it for anyone wanting to experience Rachel up close at The Hart.
Described as "truly exceptional" by BBC Introducing, Rachel has performed at iconic venues across the world, from The Bitter End in New York and The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville to Bush Hall and Camden Assembly in London. She has also graced renowned spaces including Abbey Road Studios and The Blue Room at London's O2 Arena. Now, Redditch Revival audiences have the rare chance to experience that same world-class performance energy in an intimate room at The Hart, a brilliant opportunity for any live music lover not to be missed.
Her festival appearances include Secret Garden Party, Black Deer, Toxoplasmose in Switzerland and Festival a Toute Heure in Paris, alongside packed shows across Europe on regular tours. Rachel's music has been on rotation across leading UK and international chains including Tesco and Waterstones, and she was named Caffe Nero's Artist of the Month. For anyone who loves discovering exceptional artists in a close-up live setting, this is one worth securing early.
Rachel works closely with Gibson Guitars and is a passionate champion of independent artists, women and LGBTQ+ communities in music. She dedicates much of her time guiding others wishing to work in music, leading by example through her TikTok presence with over 32,000 followers. For fans of powerful live vocals and cinematic songwriting, this is the perfect moment to reserve your place before word spreads.
Beyond music, Rachel is a multifaceted creative force, bringing her vision to life through original pen and ink illustrations, mixed media animation, lino cuts and video editing, weaving her visual art into every project she touches.
2025 was a remarkable year for Rachel, marked by the release of A Mind Made of Sky, her cinematic new EP. The project featured a fully crowdfunded vinyl adorned with her own artwork, alongside a hand-animated mixed media music video for the single Failure, a labour of love that took over three months to complete. She followed this with a packed-out UK tour and multiple song placements with major retailers across Europe. With recent live dates selling out quickly, this special Redditch Revival show is likely to follow suit.
Following the viral success of her single Time Waits For No Man on TikTok, Rachel was invited by BBC Introducing and York St John University to record the track live at Abbey Road Studios. The session also resulted in a second single set to feature on a special vinyl release supporting Children in Need in 2026.
More recently, Rachel travelled to El Salvador for a pilot project with production company LYSN. With exclusive approval from the Ministry of Tourism, she filmed a music video amid the country's volcanic landscapes and captured the journey in an accompanying documentary. During her time there, she collaborated and performed with local artists before returning to London for a live show illustrated in real time by internationally renowned artist Chris Riddell.
Behind the scenes, Rachel has begun an exciting new collaboration with rising multi-instrumentalist Natsuma. Their upcoming project Ultra Ego promises a bold new sound and electric live shows on an international tour.
Described by the Evening Standard as "an exciting British talent", Paris Adams is fast becoming one of the most compelling new voices in British country music. Best known as the founding member, lead vocalist and principal songwriter of The Adelaides, Paris has now stepped confidently into her solo career, bringing with her the same warmth, authenticity and beautifully crafted songwriting that first won audiences over. Joining Rachel Croft as special support for this Redditch Revival show, Paris makes for an unmissable start to the evening.
Her debut solo single Gold, released through Demon, marked an exciting new chapter and showcased the strength of her voice and songwriting. Recorded in Nashville with Grammy winning producer Femke Weidema, the track carries the timeless storytelling and emotional honesty that country music does best, while introducing Paris as an artist with a sound that feels both classic and fresh. Arriving early is highly recommended, as Paris's opening set will be a brilliant way to begin the evening.
Paris followed the release with performances across all three days of the prestigious C2C Festival at London's O2, placing her in front of one of the UK's biggest country music audiences. Those appearances confirmed what many already suspected, that Paris is emerging as a major solo talent with the ability to command a stage and connect deeply with a room.
Her music is already no stranger to BBC Radio 2. With The Adelaides, the single Good Love received strong playlist support, while the band also performed live sessions for both Bob Harris and Michael Ball. That kind of recognition reflects not only the quality of the songs, but Paris's growing reputation as a standout writer and live performer.
Speaking about her recent material, Paris said, "I have spent a year writing, in Nashville and in the UK, and I am so proud of the results. This new material is my best yet and I cannot wait for people to hear it." That sense of excitement and momentum runs right through her music, which feels full of heart, confidence and promise.
With Nashville writing sessions, major festival performances and increasing national attention behind her, Paris Adams is emerging as one of the most exciting names in the modern country scene. As special guest support for Rachel Croft, Paris brings warmth, charm and beautifully honest songwriting to the opening part of the evening, making this a full night of live music well worth booking early.
Now she is bringing all of that energy, talent and raw emotion to The Hart, with special support from Paris Adams, for what promises to be an unforgettable evening. If you love discovering extraordinary artists before everyone else is talking about them, this is the show to book now and look forward to. Early booking is strongly recommended for what is set to be one of Redditch Revival's standout nights.
