You’ve all probably been wondering, “Where’s Rachel gone?” (Well, all two of you who are still following me, that is!) Let me explain: … no, there is too much. Let me sum up: It’s tough to keep your page updated when you’re getting married, traveling to horsemanship events, and prepping for two weeks outside of the US. Nonetheless, I promise the music has not fallen by the wayside! This website and my page will be undergoing some changes soon, but as anyone who’s ever needed a laundromat knows, change is good.

On to the exciting news! Maureen O’Hara, Irish actor and singer, is turning ninety-three on August the 17th and has organized quite the birthday fundraiser bash. Starting at 10 a.m. she’ll be at the Egyptian Theater for the showings of a few of her movies and a meet and greet, and at 6:00 her “birthday gala” will be held at the Boise Grove Hotel. The Giant Leprechauns will be playing at the start of the gala to kick it off and providing background music during the dinner, and later in the evening our friends from Irish Dance Idaho will showcase their energetic Irish steps and choreographies!

It’s a huge honor to play fiddle for Maureen’s celebration and net proceeds from the event will go to the Justice Alliance for Vulnerable Adults, an Idaho elder abuse foundation. Happy birthday, Ms. O’Hara!
