Reared among the Pentecostal pines of Oregon, Rachel Harrington has been doing things in the wrong order for quite some time. She'd had extensive radio play before performing her live show, and she was opening for Grammy winners and nominees before releasing her first record.
Rachel's critically acclaimed 2007 debut, The Bootlegger's Daughter, (featuring guest musicians John Reischman and Danny Barnes) went to 1 on the Euro-Americana Chart and landed the Seattle siren smack in the center of the UK Americana scene when legendary BBC dj Bob Harris proclaimed Bootlegger's Daughter one of the best albums of the year. The following year of aggressive touring saw Harrington playing festivals in a dozen countries with some of the top names in bluegrass and country music.
Rachel's 2008 follow-up record, CITY OF REFUGE, features several guests including Tim O'Brien and Pieta Brown. Peopled with characters seeking respite, escape or salvation, CITY OF REFUGE farms personal and mythical stories from the American West, including tales inspired by the memoirs of prostitutes during the Alaska Gold Rush, the cantankerous Harry Truman of Mt. St. Helens, and short story writer (and fellow Oregonian) Raymond Carver. The album is produced by Evan Brubaker and mixed by David Ferguson (Johnny Cash's American Recordings III & IV), released on Rachel's own SkinnyDennis Records. City of Refuge has garnered further acclaim, reaching millions of listeners when Starbucks requested three of the cds 10 tracks for in-store play throughout the US, supported by national US distribution from Burnside.
Having just returned home from three straight months of intensive touring during the summer of 2009, which included headline spots the Glasgow Americana Festival (Scotland) and the Maverick Festival (England), Rachel is being touted as the hardest working woman in Americana.
Fall '09 will see a return to the studio with a bucket full of new songs, the official release expected in early 2010.

Rachel, what a voice you have!!! Full of emotion, your delivery so spot on on every song. I really enjoyed listening. I thoroughly enjoyed all but "Carver" and "Housewife's Lament" blew me away. thanks for the friendship. I hope all is wonderful with you and your music. Be well
Just stopping by to wish you a Happy Halloween - things have been insane for months now, thank goodness for your music as something constant in my life!
Hey Rachel, I've got a radio show for a few weeks - so, please tune into the Paul Hughes Show (filling in for Gordon Hotchkiss) on Celtic Music Radio this Wednesday between 7pm – 9pm. As well a Scottish, Irish and American folk/roots music I’ll be chatting with Paddy Callaghan about being selected for the finals of the BBC Young Trad Musician of the Year and hear him playing the harp and box.

Thanks for reading down this far.
Thanks so much for adding me. Your voice reminds me of Juice Newton. In fact, I would love to hear you do an updated version of 'Queen of Hearts'. I think that you could really make it a hit again. (Just an idea) Take care & God bless!
Rachel, great style and voice! Thank you for adding my Rock-n-Word Trip. I invite you to listen to "Hell on 66" and "Green 510nm" on my player as these are clawhammer banjo tunes. Really cool to connect with you ~ Babs

Don't forget too, for those of you within striking distance of Leicester, Electric Dustbowl 2 on 19 September.
I just got the new issue of Songlines in the mail. You know what I found: Top of the World album and sampler track. This is awesome! Congratulations. Just remember, I scooped them for the review. ; )
