Rachel is a multi-instrumentalist born15 weeks prematurely, which resulted in her becoming permanently blind a few weeks after her birth. But she does not let that stop her as she took second place in the student jazz contest at the Ventura Music Festival in Ventura, California, in 2010, and won it the following year. Miss Flowers is a little hard to place in just one or two genres because she's fluent in jazz, classical, soul, R&B, and progressive styles. She has performed with Dweezil Zappa, Arturo Sandoval, Taylor Eigsti, Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, Marc Bonilla, Jordan Rudess, Steve Porcaro, Rick Wakeman, Burt Bacharach, and Bob Reynolds. Most notable would likely be her friendship with the late Keith Emerson. A documentary film about her, Hearing Is Believing, was released in 2017. Don't miss this show!
