About the show

On Saturday 21 March, Live In The Library Presents...Rachel Harrington with Kora Feder

Reared among the Pentecostal pines of Oregon, singer-songwriter Rachel
Harrington has six albums lauded by Mojo ("ancient sounding country-noir"), Q
("gothic Americana"), Utne ("like the young Emmylou Harris"), and many others.
Harrington's newest record, Cowboy Elegy, out March 2026, is in part an homage
to her late Texas troubadour son, and features players from Emmylou Harris'
touring band, Richmond Fontaine, and The Decemberists.


Accompanying Rachel is singer-songwriter Kora Feder, daughter of renowned
California folk songstress Rita Hosking. NPR says Kora's literary songs carry "an
emotional weight that can stop you in your tracks." Her music has surpassed 1.5
million Spotify streams.


Rachel and Kora, together for this one-time duo tour, will enrapture you in fireside
acoustic guitar, sweet mandolin, enchanting harmonies, heart-warming stories, and
lyrics that deliver the kind of hard won gratitude that only comes after the storm.
Rachel's first album and UK tour since 2019, this show is not to be missed!

Advance general entry tickets available at only £15.00 (£10.00 concessions).

Doors open at 7.00pm & music will commence at 7.30pm.

Note that this will be a mainly seated show.

Featuring

Rachel Harrington

Compared to Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Gillian Welch, this American country soul star was once chosen as album of the year by Radio 2's Bob Harris. A roots musician from the crossroads of country, folk and bluegrass. Imagine Loretta Lynn playing Otis Redding songs in a garage in Seattle – in 1963. That gets you somewhere near the new territory being scouted out by country soul sensation Rachel Harrington.
