About this Event
Rachel Drew is a Chicago-based singer-songwriter celebrated for her soulful voice and melodic, self-penned songs blending pop, rock, folk, and retro soul.
Her latest album, Old Sky New, was recognized as one of the 13 Best Chicago Albums of 2024 by the Chicago Sun-Times and WBEZ/Vocalo–NPR.
Chicago Sun-Times critic Mark Guarino writes, “Rachel Drew has planted a flag for putting in the hours, and here are the spoils… finely crafted songs torched with Drew’s sumptuous voice and pulsing with nimble guitarwork… There isn’t a chorus that isn’t immediately catchy, but the allure is the deeper yearning — for a former confidant, outside connection, or unrequited love.”
Rachel’s music has also been featured on NPR’s Great American Folk Show and WFMT’s legendary Midnight Special. Alongside her band—John Szymanski (guitar), Michael Krayniak (bass), and Jason Batchko (drums)—she creates a dynamic force on stage.
Alan Harrison of The Rocking Magpie writes, “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… the arrangements are pure Laurel Canyon at its height when Linda Ronstadt and Mama Cass could do no wrong.”
