Rachael Jean Harris

Songwriter, vocalist.

Rachael Jean Harris has carved a highly individual sound, blurring the lines between folk, jazz and indie, drawing from a love of adventurous writers such as PJ Harvey, Esperanza Spalding and Kate Bush and allowing a love of poetry and literature to shine in her thoughtful, evocative lyrics.  The vast majority of her songs have fallen into rich themes surrounding the lives of people on the raw edges of existence - women in conflict zones, men in long term confinement; whilst her more recent work takes on distinctly more personal themes as she discovers how journeys through grief, past relationships and new freedoms find solace and reverberation within the natural world.
