Rachel Bissex is an award-winning* songwriter with a flair for witty lyrics and great melodies. Her fifth and latest release features many songs arranged for orchestra, and the themes are uplifting and full of hope despite adversity.
Bissex finished treatments for breast cancer in December of 2003. Through lumpectomy, chemotherapy, radiation, and hormone therapy she maintained her positive spirit with the help of friends and a support group. She's on the good side of the statistics, and is happy to be back on the music circuit in 2004.
She has a role in the feature film Nothing Like Dreaming, by Vermont filmmaker Nora Jacobson of OfftheGridProductions.com, which is currently in post production. The film follows a young girl's struggle through a tragedy, and features several songs written by Rachel, who plays the mother of the young woman.
Ms. Bissex's work has carried her from her Boston roots, Miami to Madison to San Antonio to San Diego, and she also loves to play her unique and contemporary style of folk singing in Vermont, her home since 1977.
