New York based folk singer and songwriter, Rachel Lee Walsh, creates songs that are beautiful and soothing because of her voice and melodies, yet powerful and moving due to the compelling stories within her lyrics. With just her guitar and a soulful voice, she delivers encouraging songs about her own life and the world around her. The variety of interesting characters in her lyrics can be heard in such songs as "She's Not Waiting" written about a NYC bike messenger who serves as an inspiration for living fearlessly, to "Elizabeth Dawn" where she writes from the voice of a young girl figuring out what family she can depend on. She even throws in a love song occasionally, as in "Please Come to Brooklyn". Rachel’s work is influenced by American folk singer/songwriters such as Gillian Welch, Patty Griffin, and Lucinda Williams.
After years of playing guitar and singing in various bands in New York City, Rachel stepped into the front with her own writing as a solo performer in 2001. In addition to the cultural influences that living in New York half her life has had on her work, you will hear some of the musical influences she gained from growing up in the South before moving to New York. She attended the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music and also Hunter College in New York City where she received her degree in Music Performance. She was recently featured on a podcast interview with HeyBrooklyn.com and her song "She's Not Waiting" is currently being played on WomensRadio.com. She has just released an EP entitled "She's Not Waiting". The 3 songs on the EP are guitar and vocal versions of songs she intends to include on her upcoming 10 song full-length CD with her complete band, which will include electric guitar, upright bass, pedal steel, violin, and percussion. She is currently trying to raise funds to help make the CD. To donate or pre-order the CD go to www.RachelLeeWalsh.com.
