November 10th: According to this article (be sure to scroll down a bit to read it), Rachael has a 6 song EP in the works already! And, she plans to release it within the next four months. How's that for ambitious? And even though we just got "Chesapeake", I'm sure I can speak for all of us RY fans in saying: WE CAN'T WAIT!! :D
Also, you can view videos from her WGN Morning News performance HERE & HERE!
November 7th: Magnet Magazine has just announced that they are back in print (not just online!), AND that their new issue (#82) is out NOW... AND it features Rachael! Get your copy here!

October 13th: Rachael is featured in Paste Magazine's new issue (#15: available online only these days... such a shame!). As well, you can read a new Q&A with RY online HERE! Then, if you have a chance, you should also check out the Time Machine's podcast of Mike Viola's appearance from a few days ago! If you remember, he is the amazing artist that not only helped out RY on "Chesapeake", but will also be her opening act on her tour. Enjoy!
October 11th: Happy October 11th! aka: CHESAPEAKE DAY! Everyone can officially go order or download "Chesapeake" online, if you haven't already... Woohoo! Then you can go over to our FORUM and discuss the songs & what you think! xoxo
*NOTE: If you would still like to get the album (and bonus behind-the-scenes fun!) on Pledge Music, you can for another 12 hours! Once it is "closed", you won't have access to any of the extra bonuses unless you had pledged previously... Don't miss out!
And, lastly, you can check out another live acoustic performance of "Starlight", this time from Street Date Radio, HERE! They will be adding more performance videos at a later date (at least that is what the article says!). Enjoy!
October 9th: In true form to the way my life typically goes, it seems that as my husband and I were flying to Mexico for the week our girl Rachael was also busy: posting the entire "Chesapeake" album online for all the people that Pledged towards the album! LOL. So, better late than never, here is the update: Go on over to Rachael's Pledge Music page... and PLEDGE! If you haven't already, you have a few days left to get in on all the behind-the-scenes bonuses. And you get to download the entire album a week (ok, now only a few days) early! Also, she performed on Radio Woodstock on Thursday, and you can see a video of her performing "Starlight" on their YouTube page (special thanks to Dana for catching that one! xoxo).
I also wanted to invite all of you Rachael fans again to check out her tourmate, Mike Viola (and on Facebook HERE)! He truly is an amazing musician, and it is definitely worth getting to Rachael's shows early to catch him! You can also help spread the word about him (and get presents!) by joining the Mike Viola Street Team! It is free, you just have to do a few tasks... You could even get an exclusive Meet & Greet with him after one of his shows!
October 2nd: Just heard our girl Rachael's song "Stick Around" at the tail end of the new NBC female bad-ass cop show, "Prime Suspect"! I will confirm it was "Stick Around" when possible, considering I have not herd the entire song yet... Be sure to watch! It is a pretty awesome show, too... xoxo

The show is at World Cafe Live, and you can only get tickets by RSVP'ing at their website HERE! I'm in the Philly area, but will be at work... Boohoo! If you're like me, and will be missing it, it will be broadcast live on the station as well as on their website.
