From a winding path of diverse musical ventures, Book of Leaves has slowly,
quietly come to the surface. The first solo piano release by Kentucky composer
and pianist Rachel Grimes, this new project comes after many years composing
and recording with the indie chamber band, Rachel's, and alongside current
work with Louisville-based King's Daughters & Sons. Soon to be released,
the album is a collection of impressionist chapters woven together with chordal
themes and field recordings inspired by interactions with the outdoors.
As a performer, she has had thrilling experiences across the US, Europe and
Korea, including being an opener in 2008 for the Swell Season, appearing with
Rachel's in WNYC's New Sounds Live, and with SITI Co. in the collaborative
theater production systems/layers. She has been a guest on albums by the Frames,
Sonora Pine, Tara Jane O'Neil, Shannon Wright, Shipping News, Dianogah,
Andy McLeroy, and Big Eyes Family Players.
