Rachel Eckroth at Sycamore

Rachel Eckroth will perform at Sycamore this evening. From the Syacamore website:

“With sparse, staccato bass notes and fluid string arrangements, Rachel Eckroth’s music is a little outside the contemporary singer-songwriter box. Indeed, the songs contain few of the formulaic components that have made the female singer/songwriter genre like a dependable old friend.”
—Melanie Boyer, Weekly Music Blog, D.C.

“Like any highly creative musician, jazz pianist and composer Rachel Eckroth refuses
to repeat herself. “
- Larry Rodgers, Arizona Republic

“...a composer/performer obviously influenced and firmly rooted in the tradition yet
makes her own statement in a uniquely elegant
manner .”
-Thomas Erdmann, Jazzreview.com

“... the pianist’s writing, touch, and ideas all loom large.” -Jazziz Magazine
