Straight-ahead, modern and unmistakable. Although she tours large stadiums and festivals with St. Vincent, three-time Grammy-nominated pianist and singer Rachel Eckroth keeps her solo projects surprisingly and refreshingly traditional.
In October 2025, her all-female trio, featuring bassist Emma Dayhuff and drummer Tina Raymond, released their latest EP, This Is One of Those Moments. It's a tried-and-tested formation with a contemporary twist, and the same approach applies to her music. This is particularly evident on the new EP, which is highly lyrical: one patiently follows the melodies and rhythmic cells, watching them unfold into constantly changing, colourful, shimmering pieces.
It is immediately apparent that Rachel Eckroth hears things differently to the rest of us. Her music is an evolving soundscape, full of darkness yet accessible and redeeming light.
