Rachel Lipson is a Brooklyn based songwriter, performer, artist, teacher and true lyricist. Her music conjures thoughts of Woody Guthrie, William Faulkner and Leonard Cohen. Rachel's past radio performances include a one hour feature on WNYC and two recording sessions for BBC Radio 1 in London following her 2005 release of "Pastures" on Meccico Records (a record label run by the 90s Billboard band Cornershop). Working closely with a talented Brooklyn producer and many high profile artists (including members of Arcade Fire, Beirut and Au Revoir Simone) Rachel recorded her upcoming full-length record “Tip Top” (release date TBD). In early 2010, Rachel founded Blue Balloon Songwriting for Small People a one of a kind songwriting school for children in NYC.
