Jillian Rae - Heartbeat (2013)

Jillian Rae is a singer songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, recording and performing artist based in Minneapolis, MN. Having earned a reputation as the go-to violin accompanist for dozens of Twin Cities bands Rae planted her own flag in the musical landscape with her 2013 release of Heartbeat, a confident pop-rock record with subtle nods to her folk and classical pedigrees. Her songwriting is not easily pigeonholed, and neither is her playing. You can find her playing country fiddle on one tune, rock guitar on the next, and driving her violin through synthy guitar effects on another.
