Kicking off her album release tour, San Francisco-based songwriter Rachel Garlin will perform at the Burren Pub on Sunday, June 20 at 7pm.  From her Berkeley childhood to her Cambridge cutting-of-teeth to her NYC adventures to her San Francisco sidewalk sessions, Rachel Garlin has toured internationally and spent the quarantine cultivating poetry, activism, and compassion in her community. The songs on her forthcoming album, The State That We Are In, tell a range of stories all rooted in a sense of immediacy from the personal to the political. With her vintage Gibson J50 guitar, Rachel devoted the month of February to writing a new song each day and sharing the creative process--spontaneous and vulnerable—during an interactive process with fans across the country. Half-way through the month, she got the call from NBC's American Ninja Warrior and started training. A lifelong artist, athlete and activist, Garlin combines a warm stage presence with acoustic finger picking and nuanced songwriting that’s vivid, edgy and real.
