Irrational Fear's unique sound blends elements of alternative rock, electric folk, and the abandon of punk to create a sound that is slightly off center and never generic! From the night they met and simultaneously quoted the same Pretenders lyric, Lynn Elliott and Rebecca Reed knew that they had made a connection and found common ground ~ Music. Reed's somewhat unorthodox writing style became the perfect vehicle for Elliott's remarkable voice.
To date, Irrational Fear has 2 recordings, a self titled 3 song EP and a full length CD, Closer to Daylight. Closer to Daylight was mixed and co-produced by Joe Funderburk, one of Nashville, TNs foremost engineers/producers.
Whether it is as a duo or with a full band, Elliott and Reed love taking their music across the county. From Snug Harbor, New Orleans, backed by The Charmaine Neville Band, where they did a couple of numbers with Ms. Neville; to the 2006 Invasion of the GoGirls Music SXSW showcases in Austin TX, where they went on before Sarah Bettens of Ks Choice! Irrational Fear also rocked Chicago in May at Mamapalloza, the annual international festival that empowers women to find fulfillment through creative self-expression.
Irrational Fear is a GoGirls Music Elite member, is a performing member of Indiegrrl, and has affiliated with SESAC performing rights organization. Irrational Fear is an active member of LMIA (Louisville Music Industry Alliance) which advocates the Louisville original music scene.
