Seattle-based artist Rachael MacQuarrie is a singer-songwriter combining pop sensibility with folk roots to tell intimate stories driven by evocative melodies. Growing up on Anderson Island, a tiny island in south Puget Sound inhabited more by trees than people, Rachael learned young to let nature animate her music, expressing themes of love, loss, and renewal through metaphors of the natural world. While exploring these complicated personal themes through songwriting, she seeks to keep empathy and self-awareness at the heart of every song. Rachael is currently gearing up to record an album of original songs, threading childhood memories through the never-ending process of growing up.
