    In the bustling world of indie pop, acts come and go. But Rachel Margaret is carving out a niche all her own - at once both cutting edge and timeless. Passionate vocals floating over dreamy synths and hyper-hooky guitars, coupled with amazing songwriting, have garnered Rachel serious buzz in the underground. Rachel's songs have received radio play on numerous stations across the country, including KFOG, Energy 92.7, KUSF, SomaFM, and New Jersey's own Homegrown Radio, among others. With the release of her sophomore album, Temporary Sanity, Rachel has already received numerous offers to remix the title track. A product of the University of Texas and the Ecole Normale Superieur de Musique in Paris, Rachel is currently in graduate school in the Bay Area. There is a tangible element of sadness and longing to the work that is evocative of love gone wrong. Is it true to life? "Well, basically, I am pretty cynical about love at the moment, but that doesn't mean I'll stay that way. I guess maybe right now it's more fun to write about love with perspective. It's like a tightrope act. It's only interesting if it's way off the ground and there isn't a net."

    This event is a benefit concert for victims of the San Bruno Fire. Sponsored by Kaiser, Toys for Tots, Second Harvest Food Bank, and the Law Firm of Ruda, Feder, Tietjen & McGuinn.
