The Lucky Smile: With an eclectic mix of traditional and contemporary material, tinged with influences ranging from jazz and funk, to classical and bluegrass and her Scots-Irish heritage, “The Lucky Smile” confirms Hair’s ability as a prolific composer, as well as an incredibly talented harpist. The album features Rachel’s newly formed trio of harp with acoustic guitarist Paul Tracey and double bassist Andy Sharkey.
Featuring guest appearances from award winning Gaelic singer Joy Dunlop, drummer Scott Mackay, cajon player Paul Jennings and jazz violinist Graham McGeoch, the album showcases the harp as a lead band instrument allowing its vibrance and vitality to shine through with sparkle and poise
“One of Scotland’s brightest young harpists” (The Scotsman)
