| RACHEL GRIFFIN WILL BE AT BLUE ON MAY 30th AT 8:00 P.M...
|
|
Singer-songwriter Rachel Griffin, based in Portland, has always been a natural performer. Rachel began performing in the musical theater at age seven, appearing in venues throughout the state. By her senior year in high school, Rachel realized that she felt most comfortable at the piano, and began developing the natural songwriting skills that she had since childhood. Growing up Rachel was influenced by the soulful singing and songwriting of artists like Ben Folds, Billy Joel, Carole King and James Taylor, and she incorporated her passion for their art into her own music. |

Cheryl Engelhardt |
|
Upon moving to the New York area, Cheryl immediately involved herself with the songwriter scene, playing her own material wherever she could, from open mics to headlining in Manhattan clubs. By playing keys in rock groups, Cheryl started to make enough connections to form her own band. Her bass, drums, guitar, keys quartet has also invited saxophone and string players to join their recordings and live performances. Every show is an explosion of innovations and unmistakable intellect, from music video screenings to emotionally charged classical renditions of original rock songs. |
