RACHEL RICHARDS

ABBA Star Quest Winner 2008

Rachel was introduced to the world of the Bush Ballad about 5 years ago by her good mate Bazza Salkeld and instantly she felt a connection to the music and it's Australian stories and found it was clearly her "natural" style and what she was meant to do. She is dedicated to pursuing a career in Australia as a Balladeer to enable her to preserve this important tradition. Rachel feels a sense of pride and patriotism in ensuring that this style does not disappear, because she's proud to be Australian. Rachel loves to write and perform these great stories to a captivated crowd and she has just completed her debut album.
