Shalom, and happy almost-summer!
As most of you probably know, Rachael's 10th album "Haunted By You" was officially released in the U.S. on May 22nd!

1. A PERSONAL KIBITZ (MESSAGE!) FROM RACHAEL
"Lately, I've been feeling more grateful than ever for my life and work as an artist. I had a lot of 'firsts' in the last few weeks that made me nervous but also excited, which is my absolute favorite feeling. I stood up and played guitar with my full band for the very first time at Joe's Pub...I saw an exhibit of works by my favorite contemporary artist, Keith Haring, at my first visit to The Brooklyn Museum...I made my acting/musical debut at Lincoln Center in a fantastic show directed by Dave Eggar called 'MusiKitchen'...and my neighborhood hangout, THINKGallery, is exhibiting a bunch of my paintings and collages the entire month of June!
"I'm pretty much feeling like the luckiest artsy chick on the planet at the moment. I'm drinking it all in, because I know that life is about the inevitable lows and challenges, as much as the highs - and while I have no idea what's around the corner, I know from experience that these are the extended moments I need to really pay attention, and never take one second of it for granted. Thank you so much for helping me continue to be a creative artist, and seeya soon!"
