Raechel Whitchurch

Raechel Whitchurch has spent her entire life immersed in Australia’s country music scene. Raised in Broken Hill and Parkes, as well as in a caravan, Whitchurch grew up playing mandolin, guitar, banjo, and keys - and was the primary songwriter - in her family’s travelling band The Lees. They released three albums together, appearing at festivals including Tamworth CMF and the Gympie Music Muster, before Whitchurch decided to pursue a solo career. Now, with the release of her new single ‘My Father’ and its accompanying video, it’s clear that those family ties remain strong. It’s been four years since Whitchurch released her debut EP Outlaw, which reached #1 on the Australian Country Albums iTunes Chart. In March this year, she released the single ‘I Found Home’ which peaked at #27 on the The Music Network’s Country Airplay Charts and caught the attention of Compass Bros Records, who have signed Whitchurch to an exclusive distribution agreement.
