About Me |
|
| Rachelle van Zanten’s live show is more than just convincing- “as both a songwriter and a slide guitar player van Zanten is turning the heads of music industry folk the world over” (Nextfest 2005). Her charismatic stage presence is infectious and charming, leaving her audience feeling inspired.“She just released her first solo album, Back to Francois, which is packed with funky blues riffs and stellar slide performances. The surprise is that van Zanten juxtaposes her gutsy guitar playing with very personal and introspective lyrics, a stylistic trait she attributes to her diverse influences" (Guitar Player Magazine, Oct. 2006).“Simply put, this woman is the total package. A fabulous musician on keyboards and guitar, particularily on acoustic and electric slide guitar, a great voice and a strong songwriter with excellent pop and rock sensibilities. The material on this solo debut ranges from the stark January , to the nonsense song along Yah Yahs, to the countryish Down to California, with harmonies from Mae Moore that make the tune sound like those great old Emmylou Harris-Linda Ronstadt duets. But the highlight of the session is undoubtedly the rocky Take Me Right Back, a workout with her mentor slide sensation Lester Quitzau, that'll get you up and jumping..." (Ottawa Citizen-August 19, 2006).Van Zanten is a true road warrior, playing over 150 shows this year alone through out Canada and Europe. “She looks like a singer/songwriter, but on stage she produces the meanest sounds out of her slide guitar” (KindaMuzik NL- March 27, 2006).
