A Bob Harris favourite, Rachel Harrington hails from the Pentecostal pines of Oregon. Her fifth studio album, Hush the Wild Horses, is the result of five years largely off the road, homesteading in Oregon, being with family.
Labelling the album as ‘her most personal yet’, the stories behind this harvest of songs include a brother with a meth addiction, a Vietnam veteran uncle who committed suicide at age 40, and a grandmother who died while holding Rachel’s hand.
Harrington has played major festivals throughout Europe and the US, made four live appearances on BBC’s legendary Bob Harris Show, and reached millions of listeners through airplay at Starbucks. A 2011 winner in Merlefest’s esteemed songwriting contest, this is Rachel’s much-anticipated return to recording and touring.
