   About Rachel Zylstra

Midwestern-bred, Manhattan-residing Rachel Zylstra reins in listeners with a uniquely modern alto, diverse songwriting, and lyrics that meander thoughtfully before they ring the doorbell and run. With one foot on the rural mile and the other on a city block, her songs belie the experiences of yearning and curiosity of one who can’t claim a hometown. Her voice fitting to winsome autobiography and imaginative fiction, Rachel unfolds these stories over the notes of her classical-infused alt-pop melodies.

In 2001 Rachel received an honorable mention in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest for the song "Contentment" from an early self-released album. Since that early honor, she has garnered other marks of distinction, including first place at Calvin College’s 2002 battle of the bands; winner of the 2002 Freedom Fest new artist competition sponsored by Northeastern Illinois' Shine 89.7 radio; a nomination for best local folk album at the 88.1 WYCE 2003 Jammie Awards in West Michigan.

Fall 2005, Rachel released her first full-length album, Most of It Is True, which has seen critical acclaim and listener-supported radio airplay in geographical pockets from coast to coast, having reached a whole new world of fans via the online music store, CDbaby.com.

Chuck Eddy of The Village Voice mused in Fall 2005 that Rachel may be “Michigan’s answer to Nellie McKay,” while this past May Flight of the Conchords’ Jemaine Clement wrote of her music, “I really enjoyed it.”

Rachel opened for David Bazan and Over the Rhine in Pennsylvania in 2007. She’s played NYC venues ranging from hot spots The Living Room and PIANOS to the legendary Bitter End, and has become a regular fixture at “the home of anti-folk,” The Sidewalk Cafe in the East Village. December 2008 she released her highly anticipated second album, Before You Could Decide which is available for download on iTunes, Amazon, eMusic and Rhapsody.
