September 2022

I’m working on a new EP for release in Autumn 2023, and the patrons at Sputnik Faith + Arts have
granted me some funding for which I’m hugely grateful. A fun 8-min chat from September 2022:

__________________________

On Faith

Rachel’s 2021 studio album is a moving journey of soaring musical arrangements, seeker’s questions, and explosive faith-affirming Scripture.

SFA Shorts (2/3): Victoria Liddelle on acting without words.
Victoria’s amazing expressive face as the lead character of Jane brought such energy and poignancy to Song for Autumn. We’re thrilled she was a part of it.
Catch more of Victoria’s work in the film Outlaw King and in BBC Scotland’s River City (2020-2023 seasons). Watch Song For Autumn, the video single from Autumn by Rachel Zylstra, link in Instagram bio.

This “new” (from 2021) song is my life lately, and I’m singing it this Friday night at Airth Parish Church near Falkirk, supporting two of the brothers Todd (@matthetenor and Phil Todd) in an evening pondering revival. 7pm, free, all welcome. #thatgirlsbeenrevived #revival #faith#motherhood #spiritualquestions #falkirk #concert #rachelzylstra #singersongwriter ...

‘Look now - I’ve not had time for this project
My fingers barely touch the keys on the odd productive week
‘Cause now this little one keeps pulling me away
Love exhausting me to hay, that you might just say, “That girl’s been revived”’ #la #9weeksold

Moved into our first home 3 months ago, but after the move-marathon, releasing Autumn and Song for Autumn, tripping to the west (and around the Midwest) and doing music through a bustling Christmastime, just now finally starting to settle in and enjoy the views. Goodness. Happy 2024! #gratitude #ij #jr #newhome #newyear 📷: jrw ...
