A vibrant singer and songwriter of uplifting pop anthems, Massachusetts native Rachel Platten started piano lessons at age four and began writing songs while in college. In 2003 she self-released an R&B album titled Trust in Me. Over the next few years, she worked on preparing her sophomore album, and toured at every opportunity, including support spots for the Strokes, Regina Spektor, Rusted Root, and Ziggy Marley.

Her second album, Be Here, was released by Rock Ridge Music in the spring of 2011. The single “1,000 Ships” hit number 24 on Billboard’s Adult Pop Songs chart, and she toured on and off in support of the album for the next two years. An empowering single titled “Fight Song” from her third album was released in late 2014. Early this year, Platten announced she signed with Columbia Records. She then opened for Andy Grammer’s tour with U.S. X Factor winners Alex & Sierra into the spring of 2015.

Rachel Platten is currently touring with Colbie Caillat and Christina Perri on the ‘The Girls Night Out, Boys Can Come Too Tour’. On September 11, 2015, Platten released a new single from her new album called Wildfire named “Stand by You”. Don’t miss her on February 27th at Emos.
