LITTLE RACHEL - The little gal with the BIG voice!
They call her "Little Rachel" because she is only five feet tall, but this petite package packs quite a punch! Little Rachel exploded on to the 1950's rockin' scene in 2000, alongside her sister Caroline, as the exuberant Austin, Texas-based rockabilly duo, "The Casey Sisters". They released two albums on the Swedish label, Tail Records, that quickly earned them a great deal of critical acclaim from 1950's enthusiasts for their strong female harmonies, versatility, and authentic 1950's sound.
After four years of riding high with "The Casey Sisters", Little Rachel decided it was time to return to the blues roots of her hometown of Kansas City. She left Austin in pursuit of recording a solo 1950's-style Rhythm and Blues album, to pay homage to some of her favorite artists such as Little Richard, Etta James, Wynona Carr, Little Willie John and Big Mama Thornton. The energy, versatility, and authentic 1950's sound that "Casey Sisters" fans associate with Little Rachel is multiplied by her great passion for the R&B genre. It is evident that this is what she was made to do, and she has quickly earned a new fan base that crosses over from, not only 1950's music fans, but fans of blues and soul as well.

Guitarist and singer/songwriter Shannon Curfman burst upon the blues and roots rock scene in 1999 with her major-label debut for Arista Records, Loud Guitars, Big Suspicions. Her exceptionally well-produced, well-sequenced debut album won her rave reviews all over the U.S, Canada, Europe and Asia, aside from lots of airplay, even on commercial radio stations in the U.S. Curfman made several U.S. club and theater tours in support of Loud Guitars, Big Suspicions, and garnered huge amounts of publicity, because she was only 14 at the time. Now 24, Curfman is back with a new and even more mature album that shows she is the real-deal, proven artist that many thought she would be. "What You're Getting Into" is Curfman's new album recorded at Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis’ epic Flyte Tyme Studios in Minneapolis , MN . Special guests on the album include platinum-selling artist Joe Bonamassa playing and singing a duet with Shannon of a classic Eric Clapton song and multi-platinum artist Stevie D from Buckcherry on a cover of a song by Queen. This may be Shannon 's ...best album yet! The album features seven brand new, original songs that Curfman co-wrote with writers from Aerosmith, Lenny Kravitz, Kid Rock, Ozzy Osbourne, Pink, Jonny Lang and Sheryl Crow and a cover of Oh Well by Fleetwood Mac that goes to show what a powerhouse Shannon really is. Between the songwriting, Curfman’s saucy and demanding vocals and her scorching lead guitar What You're Getting Into is the album of 2010 not to be missed!
