Reared among the Pentecostal pines of Oregon, singer-songwriter Rachel Harrington has six albums lauded by Mojo (“ancient sounding country-noir”), Q (“gothic Americana”), Utne (“like the young Emmylou Harris”), and many others.

Harrington’s newest record, Cowboy Elegy, out March 2026, is in part an homage to her late Texas troubadour son, and features players from Emmylou Harris' touring band, Richmond Fontaine, and The Decemberists.

Accompanying Rachel is singer-songwriter Kora Feder, daughter of renowned California folk songstress Rita Hosking. NPR says Kora's literary songs carry “an emotional weight that can stop you in your tracks.” Her music has surpassed 1.5 million Spotify streams.

Rachel and Kora, together for this one-time duo tour, will enrapture you in fireside acoustic guitar, sweet mandolin, enchanting harmonies, heart-warming stories, and lyrics that deliver the kind of hard-won gratitude that only comes after the storm. Rachel’s first album and first UK tour since 2019 are not to be missed!
