In the early to late nineties, Rachel was a drummer and played in many a touring rock band until recently when she swapped her sticks for her picks and discovered that years of singing in the shower had paid off and she could actually carry a tune! What a surprise. Rachel is now gigging regularly around Melbourne as a solo artist, and has done shows in Alice Springs supporting rip-rok band, NoKTuRNL, and in Sydney. More recently she did supports with Eric Burdon on the Melbourne leg of his Australian tour.

Her twisting voice provides a slightly dark sound to essentially infectious pop tunes and her energy leaps from her skin like flames. Seeing Rachel Parkinson perform live mostly leaves audiences with a warm, fuzzy feeling. Rachel's debut solo EP, CHUNKY is sounding divine and is available via
