Rachael Jean Harris carves a highly individual sound, blurring the lines between folk, jazz and rock, drawing from a love of adventurous writers such as PJ Harvey and Esperanza Spalding and allowing a love of poetry and literature to shine in her thoughtful, evocative lyrics. The majority of her songs fall 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 recent work takes on more personal themes as she discovers how journeys through grief, past relationships and new freedoms find solace and reverberation within the natural world.
“Wildly original songwriting” (Tom Robinson, BBC6 Music)
