Rachael Yamagata is a singer/songwriter from Virginia. Her solo career began in 2003 with the release of her self-titled EP which was what I first heard from her. I was immediately grabbed by “Worn Me Down.” Everything from the piano, to the lyrics to Yamagata’s somewhat raspy and soulful voice had me hooked. She eventually released her debut full-length Happenstance in the summer of 2004 which included a re-recorded version of “Worn Me Down” that has a little more of a rock feel and is a bit shorter. Yamagata is gifted on the keys and they are used throughout Happenstance which also features great songs like “Letter Read” and “Be Be Your Love.” Since that release Yamagata has been working on new material and has found time to contribute backing vocals for Ryan Adams and Bright Eyes. Yamagata just wrapped up a tour with Mandy Moore and Ben Lee and is looking to release her second record sometime next year.
