Christmas coming soon!
Need a gift idea? Consider gifting On Faith, Rachel’s 2021 studio album, with trademark piano and alto underlining a journey of soaring arrangements, seeker’s questions, and explosive faith-affirming Scripture.

January report: Awash in newborn snuggles, pat/mat leave insularity, fresh hot coffee and educational songwriting motivation. Getting cracking on a history-based song commission due at the end of February. If inspiration visits as effortlessly as her ability to nap through anything, we’ll be gold. #newyear #newbaby #newsong #caffeinehigh #creativity #cuddles #jr #threeweeksold #edinburgh
It’s been exactly one year since the release of On Faith, and this past year was lived out relentlessly as that, in spite of myself and any habits to the contrary. For you too, maybe… in any case, hoping you have a sustaining grace- and- peace-filled 2022, steeped in a soundtrack that stirs you. 🎨: @a_j_aiken #newyear #music #health #hope #grace #peace #tree #onfaith

Post-rehearsal smiles! In one week, there's no place I'll rather be than Reviving Artists Presents: Rachel Zylstra and Christy Ringrose Live in Concert, at @cornerstone.edinburgh. Edinburgh local, find tix on Eventbrite. Listeners from a long distance, catch it on Youtube. Link in bio gets you to either URL. Gosh it's been a while. Would simply love you to join us.

Christy Ringrose writes songs about faith, life, garden chairs, blessing vs. luck, plus; I write songs about faith, life, envying a tree, longing, plus. Together we share harmonies and shared faith and each our unique spin on a mic and a stage and the more recently-rare opportunities to emote from them. Saturday 6th November at 7:30 PM, graciously hosted by @cornerstone.edinburgh, we will play a live concert with a faith focus (On Faith! and more). Especially in the rarity of these occasions, your joining us will be that much more a gift and delight. For both the ticket-buy link and the livestream link, see

"Write this; write it right; right it right now..." This summer up in Dundee, at the inspired/inspiring commission of @cornerstone.edinburgh, I logged just enough quiet piano-room hours to complete two brand new, possibly very autobiographical songs on a theme of revival. These songs are stamped, sealed, mic-ed, videoed, and uploaded as of now to
https://cornerstone-edinburgh.com/reviving-artists/
for your spirit and senses. Catch me singing "That Girl's Been Revived" and "Make" live in concert with Christy Ringrose @ringrosechristy the 6th of next month, at the very same Cornerstone Church in Edinburgh and live-streamed from their channel. #singersongwriter #rachelzylstra #newsongs #newwork #thatgirlsbeenrevived #make #creativedrive #motherhood #parenthood #identity #revival #novemberconcert #revivingartists #edinburgh
Falling in love again. #edinburgh #royalmile #october
A rolling portrait of @ringrosechristy ‘s studio during our first rehearsal for the live/live-streamed 6th November concert. Can you smell the freshness of that window view? How about all those gorgeously covered canvases? Inspiration in room form.

Save the Date! So excited to play a live-in-person proper concert for the first time in 3 years, sharing the stage and trading tunes with the wonderful @ringrosechristy. 6th November at @cornerstone.edinburgh - but wait: it will also be live-streamed on YouTube! New music to share, songs from On Faith, and all sorts else in store. Full details coming soon. #christyringrose #rachelzylstra #edinburghconcert #revivingartists #singersongwriter #cornerstonechurch #livemusic #edinburgh
Set off to visit friend, just done filming in Wales, for a wee rare former NYC roommates hang. 6 hour solo train journey - massive time luxury. Plan: reflection, window-gazing, finish some new song lyrics, spiritual replenishment, artsy whathaveyous, etc. Reality: auditory chaos; groups of day-drinkers, open-air music, booming chatter, with poor near-seated neighbour coping with same by way of distressed involuntary vocalisations. Mild-mannered Britain, you still surprise. There is a lesson here. …also, the train transfer brought some relief. Lots of music stuff coming up in October and November. I'll write an email about it soon. #planvsreality #dealwithit #gratitude #trains #travels #inspiration #friendspiration #wales
My heart is really super full these days.

Finding time and space for the creative zone has felt impossible lately. So this little news feels big to me: today I was able to take a short hilly walk to a “room of my own” - the gracious gift of 3 hours in a room with a view, a piano, and privacy. First real songwriting session in months. More scheduled. Happy thankful. #songwriting #piano #timetowrite #giftofspace #dundee
Once upon a time I was regularly spilling my journal pages, heart on my sleeve, adorned in mid-aughts fashion and ensconced behind the big piano at The Bitter End, New York City. Somewhere between 2005-2007. These songs have been recently un-lost. Link in bio to find them.
