Rachel Ries @ The Green Note

US musician and singer Rachel Ries heads back to our shores this March, with an impressive new EP Cardinal plus a string of UK tour dates; Rachel will be at The Green Note in Camden on Friday 11th March.

Rachel Ries, hailing from the prairies of middle America, crafts sly and compassionate songs for the crooked-hearted. With an electric guitar and piano; a clear voice and steady hand; she deftly pulls listeners in with disarming candor and holds them there with smart and tender poetry. This March, Ries will release Cardinal; a handcrafted EP of songs written while on residency in Rouen, France. For Rachel, each of the songs is a key; a direction; a red-blooded essential for living – be it bravery, belief in one's path or the bonds of family and blood.

Recording in Minneapolis by the inimitable Jeremy Messersmith, Cardinal is Rachel’s second handcrafted EP and follows in the wake of 2014’s Ghost Of A Gardener. A well lauded album co-produced by David Vandervelde, Ghost features a duet with Gregory Alan Isakov, members of Cuddle Magic and cameos by David Sproule, Carrie Elkin, Danny Schmidt and many others.
