Sultry, strange, rock & roll.
Singer. Songwriter. Storyteller. Unapologetically Original.
Meet Rachel Roberts. Classically trained pipes. Rock-and-roll instincts. A wicked imagination. From smoky acoustic ballads to electrified anthems, this Akron-born songstress has spent decades making music that refuses to play by the rules.
No Rules. Just Records.
One voice. A whole lot of musical personalities.
From the raw intimacy of Ripe n' Juicy to the electric swagger of Rachel's Secret Stache and Sexis Sixes, Rachel's catalog is a glorious collision of rock, soul, blues, and whatever else strikes her fancy.
Six releases. Countless stories. Not a dull moment.
Not Her First Rodeo.
Definitely Not Her Last.
More than 3,000 live performances. A lifetime of songwriting. A few thousand miles on the road and plenty of stories that probably shouldn't be told before midnight.
Rachel Roberts is a musician, writer, educator, and creative force who's shared stages with rock legends, made records on her own terms, and never met a musical boundary she couldn't bend.
Get to know the woman behind the microphone.
Whether she's commanding the stage solo, bringing vintage favorites to life with The Babies in Black, or joining forces with fellow musicians, Rachel knows how to put on a show.
Catch her live, sing along, and don't be surprised if you stay for another set.
Good Music. Bad Influences.
Great Nights.
