Rachel Baiman Tickets

Common Nation of Sorrow, Baiman�s 2023 LP, was called one of �The Best Albums of the Year (So Far)� by The Boston Globe, awarded 4 stars from American Songwriter, and deemed a �Tremendously and remarkable record� by The Amp. On the heels of an album release year that saw her play move than 130 shows across the globe, Baiman has made 2024 her �Year of collaboration� with a series of A Side/B Side projects featuring some of her favorite songwriters including Pony Bradshaw, Caroline Spence, Nicholas Jamerson, and Kaia Kater. If Common Nation of Sorrow was a novel, this year�s releases feel more like short stories, just long enough to make you want more.
Raised in Chicago, Baiman made her way to Nashville at 18 with the dream of being a professional fiddle player and has since released two solo records and an EP, alongside session and side-person work with Kacey Musgraves, Kevin Morby, and Molly Tuttle among many others. As a songwriter, she has garnered a reputation for her specific brand of political and personal lyricism, which Vice�s Noisey described as �Flipping off Authority one note at a time�.
In contrast with her previous work, (Watchouse�s Andrew Marlin produced her debut album, Shame), Baiman was the sole producer of Common Nation of Sorrow. After recording for twelve days in Nashville with Grammy-Award-winning engineer Sean Sullivan, Baiman traveled to Portland, OR, where she spent two weeks mixing the record with famed engineer and producer Tucker Martine (My Morning Jacket/The Decemberists/First Aid Kit). For her new collaborative singles, she turned to friend and indie-pop writer and producer Clare Reynolds, known professionally as Lollies. �One thing I learned from producing my own record is that I love producing, as long as it�s not my own parts�, she laughs. �I thought it would be great to have another kind of collaboration included in these new songs, on the production side.
