ABOUT

Sydney songstress Rachel Collis has been described by reviewers as no less than “prodigy”, “sheer genius” (Australian Stage) and “a welcome jolt back to the time of Joni Mitchell and Carole King” (The Orange Press). Rachel is good old-fashioned songwriting, combined with whirlwind virtuosic piano and Celtic–like vocals.  

 

Rachel’s albums are produced by ARIA and Emmy-award winning producer Sean Carey, and have grown Rachel a dedicated fanbase in Australia, the UK, the US and Canada. Closer to home, Rachel has performed to sell-out audiences at the prestigious Riverside Theatres, Humph Hall, the Illawarra Folk Festival, the Hornsby and Ku-ring-gai Folk Club, the Newcastle and Hunter Valley Folk Club, The Shack, Eastern Lounge, The Acoustic Picnic, Foundry 616, Camelot Lounge, at the Sydney and Adelaide Fringe Festivals. Her quirky and highly popular song “A Duck Named Sybil” was performed by Rachel at the Sydney Town Hall and the Sydney Opera House as part of the Arts Alive Concert Series in 2018.  

 

Originally a classically trained pianist, Rachel is nothing short of a virtuoso. She was awarded a Masters Of Music in Composition in 2012.  

 

The much anticipated double-disc album, Mayfly, showcases once again Rachel’s breathtaking vocals and poetic lyrical abilities. Written during the 2020 and 2021 lockdowns, Rachel reminds listens to appreciate stillness and to embrace living their most authentic life. Having battled with writer's block for some years, the album offers the dynamic creativity and diversity of one who has regained their spark. It is oozing with life, emotion and energy, featuring everything from full orchestra arrangements, to jazz and blues, to traditional folk stylings, to Kate-Bush-esque storytelling, to intimate piano and vocal ballads.
