Sep 8: Rachael Yamagata
Yes,
Rachael Yamagata is a songwriter described as ‘soulful.’ We know many
songwriters are described as ‘soulful.’ But hear us out: Yamagata isn’t
just any old singer with a guitar and emotions, she’s one of the best.
With haunting vocals, deeply confessional lyrics and folk-rock vibes,
Yamagata has the ability to touch even the most apathetic listener.

quintessentially 20-something topics like studying abroad, dreams of
traveling and, of course, love.
