Rachael and Vilray

About this event

Since their formation in 2015, Brooklyn duo Rachael and Vilray have achieved a certain timeless quality with their singular take on traditional pop. Though rooted in the language of an earlier age, their songs transcend nostalgia with wit and a flair for the theatrical. Vocalist Rachael Price (also of Lake Street Dive) and guitarist, singer, and songwriter Vilray met at the New England Conservatory of Music in 2003. Their friendship and musical partnership grew from a shared reverence for the pop music of the 1930s and 40’s and its wide range of emotions. Over the years, their configuration has grown from an intimate duo to the octet heard on their newest album, West of Broadway. No matter the stage setup, Rachael and Vilray sing right to each other, tell stories about how the songs came to be, and relate them to the many show tunes and jazz standards they love.
