Rachel began playing the uke in 1999, in preparation of Y2K, when we were all supposed to become nomads following a complete technology meltdown. Well, alright, that was silly.  Still, it turned out to be a good decision. 

She started on a $25 Hilo soprano and first connected to the uke world via the founders of the Ukulele Hall of Fame Museum.  Rachel studied a bit with Joel Eckhaus (student of Roy Smeck) and wandered and has dabbled here and there learning to play.  She has a penchant for Tin Pan Alley, Old Time music and the fancy old-school uke chord solo flourish.  Favorite recent gigs include the Boston Ukulele Union Ukulele Melee, Silver Creek International Ukulele Carnival and A Prairie Home Companion.

Rachel presently lives in Richmond, VA.  If you want to know more about her….well that’s what Google is for.
