Remembering Rachel on the Road to a Grammy

Rachel Bissex, a celebrated singer-songwriter who died of breast cancer in February 2005, continues to be honored by the music world. A two-disc CD set featuring some of the very finest folk musicians in the nation covering Rachel’s songs was recorded and released just months after her passing. It is simply titled Remembering Rachel: Songs of Rachel Bissex and is a brilliant and true celebration of a life devoted to music and its meaning. The recording was recently entered into the Grammy process for consideration as the ‘Contemporary Folk Album of the Year’. Artists on the recording include: Dar Williams, Patty Larkin, Diane Zeigler, Greg Greenway, Tracy Grammer, Ruthie Foster, Sloan Wainwright, Jennifer Kimball, Catie Curtis, Emma & Stephen Goldberg and Daniel Bissex, among many others.

The project was originally created, and continues as a fundraising effort to fulfill Rachel’s final wish that her children’s college education be supported. However, sales and exceptional reviews have made it very clear that this longtime loved and respected folk icon has left a musical legacy of great importance. It is the hope of family, friends and musical associates, that the Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences will recognize and honor Rachel Bissex, her stellar musicianship and beautiful spirit with a nomination and Grammy Award for Remembering Rachel: Songs of Rachel Bissex.
