Meet Rachel Maxann | Musician and therapist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Rachel Maxann and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Rachel, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
Pursuing music is a wonderful way to be able to follow my passion and connect with others along the way. Music has taken me to places I wouldn’t have had access to otherwise and given me a lifetime of experiences. I think regardless of where my career goes, music will always be a big part of my life.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My music is first and foremost cathartic for me. Through it I hope to encourage others who need to process tough emotions, and give a good example of vulnerability. Folk music has gotten me through so much, and honestly it took me a while to fully connect with the description, but embracing my music for what it is has led to me so even more inspiration.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Actually, my best friend visited not too long ago so my favorites in Memphis are fresh in my mind. We went to my show at the Green Room in Crosstown Concourse, visited Stax Studio,had drinks on the pyramid and dinner at Good Fortune. There are too many great places to mention, but you can’t go wrong!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Music Export Memphis is an absolutely amazing organization here in Memphis that has undoubtedly supported and uplifted my career in music since moving to TN. There are so many people I could think of to shout out, but real the Memphis musicians community as a whole has been so welcoming, I’ve found so many amazing friendships through it.
