We’re happy to let everyone know of the final performer for our June 14 Cascadence event. Rachel Flowers will perform a solo set.

Rachel Flowers has been making a real splash in the progressive rock and jazz communities for the last few years due to her prodigious talent on several instruments. Whether sitting at a keyboard, slinging a guitar, or playing her flute, she astounds audiences with the depth of her knowledge and abilities. She’s appeared in concert as a guest with such notables as Dweezil Zappa, Jordan Rudess, Rick Wakeman, and even Burt Bacharach. The 2017 documentary Hearing Is Believing tells her story.

She first gained recognition for her talent as a young child and has been admired and mentored by those at the top of their field: Greg Lake, Keith Emerson, Dweezil Zappa, conductor Terje Mikkelson, and a series of jazz greats, most notably Herbie Hancock. As a teenager she won numerous awards as a pianist and flutist, and has matured to perform and record on the global stage.

In addition to her four solo albums, she has appeared as a guest on albums by Keith Emerson, Joe Deninzon’s Stratospheerius, Michael Sadler, and  participated in tribute concerts and recordings.

Here’s a video from a solo concert where she plays Herbie Hancock’s “Dolphin Dance.”

Rachel Flowers joins Gong, Khu.éex’, and the Kathy Moore Super Power on Saturday, June 14. Tickets are on sale now!
