Description

If you find yourself in California, winding through the oak studded mountains overlooking the pristine coast of Ventura County, keep your eyes peeled for a big red and white schoolbus, the sound of acoustic music and lots of laughter. You might spot Rachel and a few of her closest friends on a weekend jaunt, looking for adventure and collecting stories.

Since her first performance, with two big brothers working spotlight from the stairway and an audience of Mom, Dad and the dog, Rachel Sedacca has built on a lifetime of dance, drama and music. Live Theatre roles in A Girl's Dormitory directed by Betty Bridges, Shakespeare's As You Like It, in the famous outdoors of the John Anson Ford Theatre in Hollywood and An Encino Community theatre production of Gypsy started a lifelong love of the stage.

A Crystal Gayle album was the first in a collection that developed Rachel's love for music. Singing along with Anne Murray and Linda Ronstadt in the car with Mom started building her vocal "chops" at a young age. Early influences of Motown and traditional country focused on the voice as an instrument. Despite years of chorus and dance troupe, it wasn't until she was gifted a steel string acoustic guitar in 1994 that Rachel even began to touch the power of her voice.

During college at Humboldt State University, holding her own with background/lead vocals for "Full Sun" the improvisational, electric rock band out of Arcata, started what grew into a career in music. Her musical education continued with the songs of Robert Hunter and the jack of all trades style of Bonnie Raitt. With her debut single "Days of '49", written in 1997, Rachel built on a diverse repertoire of her favorite songs and very own originals.

"Lucky Like Me", Rachel Sedacca's debut album was released in the fall of 2000 and included a body of work reflecting her versatility and songwriting skill. Including a cover of her favorite Dylan tune, the album boasts eight of her originals and one by songstress cohort Lisbet Frey. Co-produced with Jonathan Raffetto and highlighting some of the most amazing talent of Ventura County, the album has gained attention locally, nationally and internationally with over 65 thousand plays on the internet's Mp3.com.

As her entity Road Home Productions, Rachel booked and managed a 2001 tour through California, Colorado and Minnesota as a solo act earning priceless experience in the business of music and promotion. A one month tour on her 35-foot 1971 GMC school bus prompted the re-naming of "Louise" to "Patience". There's a literal Pandora's Box of stories that she matter-of-factly weaves into her live appearances, always giving a little peek behind the music, bringing the audience into her comfortable living room at every show. Rachel's internet presence led to a two week tour of Japan,accompanied by the mandolin, guitar and vocals of Tom Corbett, as headlining act at the
Country Jamboree in the mountains of Gifu,north of Nagoya.


Rachel Sedacca is always fun to be around and definitely an artist to watch. This Gypsy heart can be spotted out on the road every chance she gets, but always on the Road Home.
