Prairie Swing & City Folk - a fresh approach to the musical forms of the '20s & '30s sung with a voice reminiscent of early Maria Muldaur and the finger-style picking of Mississippi John Hurt.
Bio / Background
Daughter of Mennonite missionaries, raised in Zaire and Freeman, S.D., Rachel Ries performs "Prairie Swing & City Folk". Classically trained in voice, piano, violin and viola, Ries marries sophisticated, vintage musicality to smart lyrics. Like Andrew Bird and Erin McKeown, Ries has developed an urban cult following based on a fresh approach to musical forms of the '20s and '30s. Recorded analog on vintage microphones, her vocals recall Billie Holiday and early Maria Muldaur, with a self-taught guitar style reminiscent of Mississippi John Hurt. Songs range from the romantic simplicity of jazz standards to the distilled intensity of poet Anne Sexton. Ries has an adventurous ear for melody and a voice flexible enough to accomplish it. Now twenty-five, Ms. Ries has performed her music from Denver to Winnipeg, Texas to South Dakota, Chicago to Scotland. She currently tours solo, with Anais Mitchell, and the Tin Pan Caravan, an eclectic songwriters-in-the-round.
