We all know a great song when we can bring it down to the basics and still feel the full expression and meaning. The particular allure of what we now call Americana is exactly that: great songs that stand strong on their own. Sara Rachele is a student in the great river of American music - folk, Americana, pop, and Jazz. She has studied the greats - both known and unknown - that came before, channeling a bit of their energy in each song.

“I’m constantly searching,” says Rachele, laughing. “I’m hoping for change, that there’s something down this windy path… Something that saves us all.”

Go South is a timeless song that tells the story, with Rachele’s trembling vocal::

‘Get wise or Go South / New York will spit you out / Get tough or just get out / Get wise, get wise or go south.’

Sara Rachele’s new album Heartstrings arrives in early 2022, as we savor the simple beauty of the first two tracks.
