10 years ago today in a Rockwood Stage 2 to-do, I released Strings, a record featuring the talents of these three gentlemen (from left: Matt Gelfer/violin, Paul Wolfram/cello, Gregory Williams/viola). From an open mic was borne a musical friendship; Matt’s arranging mind elevated my songs to new heights while his fantastic wit kept us all grinning. Rehearsals and a string of gigs over years culminated in this soaringly stringed EP that strikes me both with tender artistic satisfaction, and with happy gratitude for those talented people who’ve came alongside me in different seasons and made me a better musician by their examples and collaborative spirits. Happy 10 years to Strings, and fond thoughts for these guys. #strings #rachelzylstra #album #10yearsold #nyc #rockwoodmusichall #memories #theinformant #oust #neahbay #shannon #placetime #thepityparty #stuck #songs

Kicking yourself? or Relievedly moved on?
Naive? or Immature?
Fell in love fast? or Phobic to commit?
Or maybe they just (really, red-flaggily) weren't the right one.
Indulge yourself an hour of musical breakup analysis and unrequited romance wallowing--Then get it on with the day, knowing you are understood!

It Didn't Work Out: An Online RZ Concert
I knew I had a handful of unrequited love and red-flags-from-the start break-up songs in my song catalogue to buoy this theme. But ohh ha… there are many. Join me for a curated musical hour of heartache wallowing, verbal processing, rueful reminiscing and soulful face-planting this Saturday 12th at 5pm GMT, 12 pm EST on Twitch.

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
