Rachel Goodrich

Rachel Goodrich is a Miami-born indie pop artist known for her whimsical blend of vaudeville-inspired indie pop, swing-jazz, and country-folk. Writing songs since age 12, she’s a multi-instrumentalist who plays guitar, ukulele, banjo, kazoo, and more, crafting what she calls "shake-a-billy" music. Her 2008 debut *Tinker Toys* earned her recognition as Miami’s "queen of indie rock," while her self-titled 2011 album was produced by Grammy-nominated Greg Wells. Her track "Light Bulb" appeared in *Weeds* and Crayola ads, and recent releases like *Once Before* (2025) suggest an evolving sound, with hints of fresh experimentation in songs like "Dreamland" and "You Don’t Own Your Swing."

Born in 1984, Goodrich’s live shows are playful and eclectic, often featuring quirky instruments and collaborators. Early influences range from Joni Mitchell to Dr. Seuss, giving her work a nostalgic yet offbeat charm. Recent mentions of a new all-girl surf rock band and electric guitar focus hint at her latest creative directions.
