After receiving industry acclaim in the form of Clear Channel’s “New” program and earning top honors in the 2006 “Song of the Year” competition, Garage Band sensation Rachel VanSlyke is the latest artist to leverage internet popularity into a worldwide recording and publishing contract. VanSlyke’s unique combination of accessible, highly listenable tunes with no holds barred lyrics and a refusal to be bound by conventional genres have garnered her a following who are at once enamored and empowered by her bold songwriting and gutsy performances.
Raised in Upstate New York on little more than a love of family and music, she first took to the guitar at age 14. The past decade she’s spent honing her talents by beating the odds and claiming a newfound comfort in crowds. She also plays piano and a little tenor sax, thanks to her family’s penchant for all-night jam sessions, but the energetic artist feels compelled to pick up and play pretty much anything that makes a sound.
