Brown Paper Packages, Rachel’s first ever holiday EP is out now! From Rachel:
“I’ve been performing all of these songs live at my annual holiday show in NYC (tickets for this year’s show, December 15th on sale here!) and finally thought to myself – it’s time to make a recording! I made sure there’s something for everybody (reggae to jazz, Christmas to New Year’s!), so whether you’re feeling festive or just want to bundle up with something cozy, I’ve got you covered! And if you haven’t figured out the title, it’s a line from The Sound of Music’s “My Favorite Things” (“Brown paper packages, tied up with string, these are a few of my favorite things…”) – A Christmas song that has no business being a Christmas song except someone sang it around Christmas and then it was so.”
