Rachel Ries + in/PLANES

Rachel Ries crafts sly and compassionate songs for the crooked hearted. With a clear voice and steady hand, she pulls the listener into her world of city grit, country dirt, and her open-eyed search for redemption and reason.

Her latest record, Ghost of a Gardener, was recorded in Chicago at Pieholden Suite Sounds, studio of the late Jay Bennett (Wilco).

In recent years, Ries ("reese") has recorded and toured extensively with Anaïs Mitchell and, with Mitchell, toured with Bon Iver. Rachel was granted a Chicago Arts award, worked in the Chicago theater scene, toured Europe and the states, learned how to repair Wurlitzers and (kind of) play the drums.

~~

in/PLANES (for Planes of Existence) is a duo consisting of musical soulmates, Desirae Gracia (Bass/Ukulele/Vocals) and Inaiah Lujan (Guitar/Vocals), founders and core members of popular folk group The Haunted Windchimes.

in/PLANES offers a different take and spin on American music, drawing influences from 50's pop and doo-wop to the more modern chamber pop sound of the indy persuasion.
