Rachel Schain + The Sensational Country Blues Wonders! + The Waysties + Joey Verskotzi @ The Way Station

8pm- Rachel Schain

Genre: Singer/Songwriter

For fans of: Dar Williams, Barenaked Ladies, Elvis Costello

Rachel Schain brings a jolt of caffeine to the coffeehouse, pairing strikingly honest lyrics with an unwavering rock-edged soprano voice. She uses pop melodies to break down emotional walls and then sings from her heart straight to yours. Her playful sense of humor electrifies her acoustic rock sound and brings a smile to cope with painful subjects. Influenced by OK Go, Dar Williams, Tally Hall, Elvis Costello, Barenaked Ladies and Tori Amos, her songs - a hodgepodge of familiar rock forms put through the wringer - stay with you long after you listen.

“That disarming alacrity, in addition to an ear for melodic pop and her distinctive, full and undeniably rocking soprano, is what elevates Rachel Schain’s simple compositions so far above the average coffeehouse acoustic singer-songwriter set.” - PopMatters.com

“Schain’s appeal is in her catchy melodies and clever lyrics...these are not your average folk-pop songs. And while several of the songs are about romantic relationships, they’re love songs for girls who don’t spend most of their time obsessing over boys (and the people who love them).” - DEArtsInfo.com
