Rachael Kilgour last visited our studio and she was on her way to North Carolina to play in a contest. Funny turn of fate that she visits again on her way to North Carolina, because she won the contest. She came in to play and to talk about raising money for her Kickstarter Project.

Rachel talks about her new album that she has started in Boston. She also talks about how much it costs to make one. She shared how many things happened in her life that she has documented with her music. She feels this is the best work she has ever done and wants to get it done. She needs your help, there are rewards for your donations and you can find it at her kickstarter page.

A little bit about Rachael from her kickstarter page :

She is based out of Duluth, MN, singer-songwriter Rachael Kilgour and has built a devoted following over the last nine years, captivating audiences with a balance of provocative, topical lyrics, passionate musical delivery, and a charmingly witty stage presence.

 

Kilgour has performed across the country in coffeehouses, concert series and radio studios as well as protests and picket lines. She’s shared the stage with such folk luminaries as Greg Brown, Cheryl Wheeler and Holly Near and earned a local reputation as “everyone’s favorite, spirited folkster.” In 2015 Kilgour took fifth place in the Telluride Troubadour Competition and was named the winner of the LEAF Newsong Contest in North Carolina.

Here is Rachael in her own words:
