Rachel VanSlyke

After receiving industry acclaim
in the form of Clear Channel’s “New”
program and earning top honors in the
2006 “Song of the Year” competition,
Garage Band sensation Rachel VanSlyke
is the latest artist to leverage
internet popularity into a worldwide
recording and publishing contract.
VanSlyke’s unique combination of
accessible, highly listenable tunes
with no holds barred lyrics and a
refusal to be bound by conventional
genres have garnered her a following
who are at once enamored and
empowered by her bold songwriting and
gutsy performances.
From the in-
your-face, balls-out modern rock of

“Never Me” to the infectious honky-
tonk of “Carry” to the lullaby
rhythm of “Into Me,” VanSlyke strips
her songs to their cores. Belting
out the staccato lines of “Movin On,”
the unvarnished nature of her lyrics
make it so even the imperfections in
her untrained voice ring as authentic.

 And there’s nothing the 

playful soul likes better than
surprising fans by following up one
song – just when they think they’ve
got her pegged – with something
completely different.
