Rachel Marie – Godfrey’s Homegrown 🙂

Homegrown at Godfrey Daniels, Rachel Marie follows in a tradition of unapologetically forthright women folksingers, with songs that hearken to “overstuffed lines of Tori Amos, a philosophical turn of Indigo Girls, and lilting vocals like Joni Mitchell” (Victoria Farmer, The Christian Humanist Podcast). The social awareness of folk meets the introspection, catharsis, and healing of the singer-songwriter tradition. “Add in a brilliantly woven, genuine, and sometimes silly banter and Rachel’s unique show will stay with you a long time” (Tom Bianchi, 24 Hour Music). Rachel’s latest full-length album, False Foundations, was released in 2018, and her next album, My Sorry, Troubled Head is in the works.

Taylor Abrahamse – Kerrville Newfolk Winner!

Like a maple leaf in a gust above the prairies, Taylor Abrahamse blissfully floats between the borders of song, gender, and genre with his/her deftly crafted, hook-laden hammerclaw pop. A Paul Simon/Jim Carrey crossbreed and a Kerrville Newfolk Winner – (s)he’ll leave you laughing, inspired, and singing along… if you can reach that high.

Out of love for Taylor’s writing, Eddie Kramer (Hendrix, The Beatles, etc), insisted on working together to produce/mix his acclaimed debut album. Fresh from a US tour with #1-selling iTunes artist Flamy Grant, Taylor will be releasing new OAC-funded music over the next year.
