ABOUT
Equal parts vulnerable as she is cheeky, Rachel May’s mystic soul-folk shines through a uniquely feminine lens. Hailing out of Baltimore, Maryland, her songs are lyrically driven by a roots-deep love for musical storytelling and self-expression.
With her earliest influences attributed to the works of Todd Snider, Joni Mitchell, and Johnny Cash, it’s no wonder her own music is curious, exploratory, and poignant in each song’s unraveling of itself. Paired with her powerful, magnetic voice, audiences are left electrified.
In May 2024, Rachel had the privilege of playing her first music festival, Charm City Bluegrass. Shortly after, she released her first single, “Janis” on all streaming platforms. Since then, she has played shows in Baltimore and beyond, both solo and collaboratively with other projects, her main one being Baltimore’s beloved band, 5 Spot
