Brattleboro-based musician Rachel Bell offers Celtic, French, English, and New England acoustic traditional music in a variety of configurations. She and her bandmates find great joy in crafting just the right set list for each special occasion, whether it's a beautiful and sentimental tune for walking down the aisle, elegant background music for dinner, or party tunes to get everyone up and dancing. Rachel plays accordion but not the stereotypical kind of oom-pah accordion you might imagine. Check out her video links to discover heartachingly beautiful waltzes, driving Irish reels, jaunty Quebecois tunes, evocative sounds of a Parisian cafe, or head-banging French groove tunes. Rachel can bring exactly the right band for your event, as she works with a stellar bunch of performers around the area. Instrumentation can include accordion, fiddle, piano, guitar, clarinet, and vocals, and Rachel can lead or teach contra, bal folk, or other party dances if that is the right fit for your gathering. Rachel guarantees fast, easy, clear communication and careful attention to detail. She would be thrilled to be involved in your event!
