Rachel McCartney's New Album INTERIM
Makes More History at Club Passim

Boston, MA

In follow up to her 2001 album entitled Eye On the Horizon, Boston-based acoustic artist Rachel McCartney releases Interim, a collection of studio-free recordings that aptly captures the raw power of her distinct, depth-filled voice and intimate songwriting. Interim, recorded at the legendary Cambridge, MA folk club, Club Passim, pushes the envelope of traditional folk music. McCartney's rich acoustic based tunes range from the emotional, traditional folk of Ocean Song, to the soulful in Will I, to the enjoyable bluegrass twang in All the Joy. With a live performance that easily outdoes any recording, McCartney's, Interim is a glimpse into the beginning of a soon to be prolific career.
