"After 11 years in the trenches, Canadian slide guitarist Rachelle van Zanten is done with bands. In 2006 she released her first solo album, “Back to Francois”, which is packed with funky blues riffs and stellar slide performances. The surprise is that van Zanten juxtaposes her gutsy guitar playing with very personal and introspective lyrics- a stylistic trait she attributes to her diverse influences" (Guitar Player Magazine U.S.- Oct. 2006). She has come a long way from her bluegrass upbringing in the foothills of northern British Columbia, recently recording a rock album with producer Joby Baker (Cowboy Junkies, Alex Cuba, The Weakerthans, Mae Moore) and world-renowned sound engineer, Tchad Blake (Sheryl Crow, Paul Simon, Tom Waits, Richard Thompson, Los Lobos, Pearl Jam). Rachelle is a unique and eclectic Americana singer-songwriter much in the style of Lucinda Williams. Rachelle has performed with Feist, Blue Rodeo, Clarence Gatemouth Brown and Sue Foley; and has supported Indigo Girls, Eagle Eye Cherry and Dar Williams. Rachelle's recent tour schedule took her through Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Holland, Belgium, France, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, India and Nepal.

Hi Ash! What are you doing here? Just can't stay away from those Canadian musicians, eh................. Sorry about that Rachelle but, it proves two things: first is that I like your music and I come back to listen to it and; secondly, that sometimes MySpace friends really DO know each other. Anyway, thanks to you I'm having a go on the slide myself. Don't worry - no competition, I can assure you. If you want to see my effort, here's the vid -
Hope the gig goes well in Toronto (which is where I'm from originally).
I usually don’t post that kind of videos, but in this special case, I’d really need your help. It just takes some seconds to vote and it’s really easy.
Ciao, Rachelle ,Thank you for the add and the friendship. you are very good, I like your music a lot,and your stupendous voice. talk to you soon, and all of my best wishes to always listen to your good music. all the best.. from italy neal
