Rachel Grimes

Kentucky composer and pianist Rachel Grimes, who has worked and recorded with the Frames, Sonora Pine, Shipping News, and more, performs work from her just released solo album, Book of Leaves—a collection of impressionist chapters woven together with chordal themes and field recordings inspired by interactions with the outdoors. Rachel Grimes’ music has quietly evolved through a diversity of musical ventures, including six releases with indie chamber group Rachel’s. Her forthcoming album Book of Leaves finds her at the height of her creativity - an album of impressionist piano pieces, largely pastoral, incorporating field recordings made outdoors. Available September 22 on CD and vinyl (Karate Body Records), a special edition will include a sheet music score with letter-pressed cover. Live shows during autumn will open with a set of works by Erik Satie.
