There’s a new face in country music that has quickly grabbed the attention of music lovers across the nation; Raquel & The Wildflowers. This energetic powerhouse band blends the sound of traditional country music with a rock and roll drive. The band formed in 2019 and are based out of NY. The group is composed of Raquel de Souza (Singer), Luis Cruz (Guitar/Backing Vocals), Cat Lines (Fiddle/Backing Vocals), Tommy Carlucci (Drums) and Steve Riccio (Bass).
This holiday season the group released their debut Christmas single “Country Rock Christmas” on all popular online music platforms. Raquel wanted to write a song that would keep country fans in the Christmas spirit despite it being slightly different from the pandemic this year. The lyrics celebrate Christmas traditions she grew up with, while the instrumentation gives country music fans what they love: Fiddle, a walking bass line, fun guitar riffs, solos and a driving drum beat. This song will have everyone singing along and line dancing in their living rooms this holiday season while celebrating Christmas!
Raquel & The Wildflowers has opened for multi-platinum artist Andy Grammer, opened for international country star Jessica Lynn and joined together with emerging artists to sell out NYCs “The Cutting Room” theatre for the first “Urban Country Jam” music festival (hosted by Lauren Davidson). Raquel & The Wildflowers will be performing at Country Fest 2021 with headlining artists Dierks Bentley, Kane Brown, and Thomas Rhett, and will be heading out on their first USA tour in 2021 to perform at state fairs, national level Music festivals and more throughout the nation!
This high-energy band is so excited to retake the stage in 2021 and bring back the live music that fans have been missing.
