The Band
Rachel Kenney
LEAD Vocals
In 2008 I moved to MN from a small town in Maine. I now live in SW Minneapolis with my fiancé Jon and our 3 amazing kiddos and our Boxer pup and 3 (yes, 3!) cats. I love Soul/R&B/Neo Soul but I also adore Indie/Alt Rock, Oldies and Indie Folk.
Singing since before I can remember, my first memories of music are listening to Mom’s LPs in the 80s; Sade, Phoebe Snow, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, you get the idea. From about 6 on I was playing whatever tapes I could get my hands on in my Fisher Price tape player; Dirty Dancing, Tracy Chapman, Bette Midler, Harry Belafonte and my favorite, The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin.
And then proverbial crickets until I met Jon in 2014, when we started to build on our love of music together. Ain’t love grand?
Jon Offerdahl
LEAD Vocals / percussion
I’ve loved singing for as long as I can remember and I’m so excited to finally be in a band with the love of my life! My parents did force me to be in church choir, and school choir which I wasn’t a huge fan of, but looking back now I’m glad I did it. I am also a self taught hand percussionist. I played trombone in high school but always regretted not doing the drums instead. I pretty much love all kinds of music…basically anything but country (except for old school country, like Johnny Cash of course). My main genre tends to lean more towards 90’s Rock, but I really do love all types of music. To name a few favorites: The Beatles, Sublime, Pearl Jam & The Head and the Heart, so clearly all over the place!. Similar to Rachel, I had a Fisher Price cassette player I would carry around, but I typically played Twisted Sister and Guns-n-Roses in it!
Zach Rausch
Bass
Hey I'm Zach. My favorite number is 5 and my favorite color is orange, so I prefer orange 5 string basses.
My favorite bands are Pink Floyd, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Porcupine Tree.
I love playing music with good spirited people, such as those listed on this page.
