   About sera




Hi there my name is Sera Rabbett. I've been playing live for several years, gigging pubs, playing festivals and busking up and down the country.

I've supported artists like 'Seize The Day' and Duke Special and even set up free parties as well as been a stage manager at various other festivals.

I've long admired Ani Difranco, her unique musical style and determination to promote herself independently!

Wailinghippie began as an idea for a label name to distrubute my music under. More recently becoming more of a promotional thing. I still hope to set up a label and plan to be in the near future!

Over the past 3 years I've been really involved learning live sound engineering. Mostly at festivals where I was stage manager and events I helped set up. I now hope to invest some of that knowledge I gained, by doing some live recordings that capture and utilize natural acoustics! So far I've recorded 2 demo's, 1 album and engineered as well as co-produced my recent E.P Extended Play.

So watch this space the evolution continues......



"Songs powerfully delivered and thought provoking" -

"Sera gifted us with her presence at the festival, her bold and unique voice easily belted out sung stories which compeled those lucky enough to hear, join her lyrical journey - mesmerising" -

"Sera's powerful original acoustic material is not to be missed" -

"Sera has a powerful voice and a passionate heart!" -
Popular venue The Chattery
