Rachael

Character: Deirdre
Part: Alto, Soprano
Instruments: Shakers, super-secret new instrument of DOOM!
Position: Band manager

Rachael has been listening to the music (and perhaps voices) in her head for decades. She finds herself (as do those around her) much happier when she lets it out now and again. Her biggest musical outlets to date have been piano and vocals, performing and recording mostly for fun, and she dabbled in band management for a couple of years. Adding a handful of years working at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival for various crafters, it’s no wonder she’s found herself working with the likes of The Dregs.

When not working with The Dregs or a handful of other local ensembles, Rachael spends her spare time with family and friends (she swears her pets and vegetables fit into those categories). She loves to read, cook, and has been known to get her geek on at CONvergence. She enjoyed living in a small town (pop. just a smidge over 5,000), especially since it was only 5 miles from Fest grounds, but is a city girl at heart. St. Paul, MN and Phoenix, AZ always feel like home to her. To that end, she now lives in the Crocus Hill neighborhood in St. Paul, and just realized she has lived within a 1 mile radius of her current residence five separate times. Perhaps she is part homing pigeon.
