Rachel Dawick Concert

Acoustic Routes' November concert at the Ruby Lounge features UK-based singer songwriter Rachel Dawick. Rachel Dawick is a singer-songwriter, originally from New Zealand and now based in the UK. She has spent the past nine years playing at festivals and clubs here and in the UK, initially as part of an all-female blues-Celtic trio "Ruby Blue" and more recently as a solo performer.

Rachel has released two solo albums: Journeys in 2008, and Ed's Bar and Grill, released at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe last year. Her third album, Picking at the Bones, is due out here in February next year. Her voice has been described as combining "the grit of Mary Gauthier, the lilt of Joan Baez and the depth of Natalie Merchant".

Rachel's international reputation as a songwriter has been enhanced lately with the release of two collaborative songs: "Somewhere to Jump" (Aberfeldy), released in August and "Peeling Apples" (Athena Andreadis), which EMI released in September in Greece and the UK. Following her New Zealand visit, she will tour Europe and the United States in spring and autumn next year.

Local singer-songwriter and Irish instrumentalist Pat Higgins and ukulele maestro Mike Maguire will also be performing at this concert.
