Miami Beach-based singer/songwriter Rachel Goodrich's eclectic blend of vaudeville-inspired indie pop, swing-jazz and country-folk (the artist frequently describes her sound as "shake-a-billy") is made all the more singular by the vast number of instruments at her command. A musician since her single digits, Goodrich's first compositional tool was the guitar, but as the years progressed, so did the bells and whistles, culminating in an arsenal that included ukulele, spoons, mandolin, piano, kazoo, banjo and autoharp. The Florida native's self-released debut album Tinker Toy arrived in 2009.
We love her latest album, Once Before, released earlier this year, especially tracks "You Don't Own Your Swing," "Love You Still," and "When You Know, You Know."
