Friday on the Green Live Music - Rachael Wilson

Singer – songwriter Rachael Wilson was born and raised in Alexander City. For her, it’s a place that holds a lot of memories. And it’s also the place she discovered her love of music, with a lot of assistance from her family. “Music was always therapy for me. It was a happy place,” Wilson said. “I was homeschooled. That’s kind of where my parents pushed me because they saw how much I loved it.” Wilson says she was a huge Beatles fan, but Nanci Griffith and Joni Mitchell were her heroes growing up. Her tastes in music range from blues to folk to pop country. Cover songs are her bread and butter, because a lot of times most people want something familiar, but she does work her original songs into the mix “Getting to make music is such a blessing,” Wilson said. “I just want to play what people want to hear.” Grab your comfy stuff, the neighbors, and the leash for the pup and join us Friday, On The Green!!
