I recently discovered Rachel Crowe on the internet. When I first heard her sing with that Bluesy/Growly voice I was hooked. Rachel has got the perfect voice for the Blues; her vocals are so full of emotions. The control Rachel has of her vocals is outstanding, even when she is belting out a song her voice is in perfect pitch. I have heard a few original songs from Rachel, I have to say that they are very strong songs. Her songs really dwell in the deep blues and are something that the everyday person can relate too. Rachel's voice is nothing I have heard before, you get a little bit of Janis Joplin and maybe some Susan Tedeschi. But pretty much I would have to say is Rachel Crowe has her on sound and it's awesome.
I would have to say for me Rachel Crowe is definitely someone to watch. She has a lot of talent and great stage presences. She is working hard to become the next generation member of the Woman of Blues. You can really see in Rachel that she cares about the music she plays and puts a 100% effort into her performances to make sure the crowd is enjoy themselves. Here are some places you can find Rachel Crowe’s music and information. https://rachelcroweband.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu_NwvPo8aaa0v21RI9Z5Ow https://open.spotify.com/artist/0IHMPeRYZ9wEMWtFgi4Cas 1. How long have you been playing music? I’ve been playing the guitar since I was 23. I taught myself how to play so I could write better songs and not rely on other people. I’ve been singing since I was about 8. I told my father I wanted to be a singer so he brought home, Janis Joplin, Joe Cooker and Otis Redding tapes. We spent hours together learning how to project feeling not just the notes. 2. How many bands have you been in? A lot 3. Where were you born? I was raised in the Red River George 4. Are you self-taught? Yes 5. Who are your biggest influences? Tina Turner, R.L. Burnside, B.B King, The Allman Brothers, Odetta, Buddy Guy, David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Betty Davis…. not the one with the eyes the one with the voice, legs and attitude, Candi Stanton, Ruby Starr, Yvonne Fair, Eddie Floyd, Suggie Otis, Joe Cocker, Otis Redding and of course Janis Joplin 6. What style of music do you consider yours? Holler Blues I guess? It’s heavily influenced by the blues but I like to tell stories and has a hard driving beat. 7. What was your first gig? How old were you? Shew that was a long time ago lol paying gigs didn’t come till later maybe my early 20’s when I could get into bars and aggravate my buddies to let me sing. 8. What advice do you have for someone starting out in the music business? Learn an instrument, write your own stuff, log in stage time wherever you can get it, be better than you were yesterday and never stop being true to yourself. 9. Do you write your own songs? Yes and they are all mostly true events 10. What would people be surprised to hear that you have in your personal record collection? Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre 11. What would you be doing if playing music was not an option? I don’t know if I could imagine not doing something pertaining to music it’s all I’ve ever wanted to do but probably something that would help other people like a therapist or a shaman 12. Besides your own songs, what is your favorite song to perform? Feels like Rain - Buddy Guy, long Train Running - Doobie Brother, Whiter Shade of Pale- Procol Harum 13. If you were strictly a songwriter, who would you like to see sing your songs? Elle King or maybe Grace Potter. I write from a very strong female prospect, but I think that it translates to all human emotions. We’ve all loved, lost, begged, hurt, triumph and lost again. Those two ladies could definitely get those emotions across to everyone.
