Jubilee Community Arts presents Rachel Baiman at the Laurel Theater, March 29 at 8 pm.

Raised in Chicago, Baiman made her way to Nashville at 18 with the dream of being a professional fiddle player. In the years since, she’s released two acclaimed full-length records—2021’s Cycles and her 2017 debut, Shame, of which NPR Music praised, “wry truth-telling…a jaunty banjo figure bobs above a strolling folk-rock groove and sets a playful tone, while her lyrics, delivered with reedy, willful nonchalance, critique the merging of religious, moral and political influence,” alongside session and side-person work with Kacey Musgraves, Kevin Morby, and Molly Tuttle among many others. As a songwriter, she has garnered a reputation for her specific brand of political and personal lyricism, which Vice’s Noisey described as ‘Flipping off Authority one note at a time”. Her latest album, "Common Nation of Sorrow," tells stories of American capitalism, and the individual and communal devastation it manifests.
