Rachael & Vilray

Rachael Price (vocalist for Lake Street Dive) and Vilray Bolles (Brooklyn-based guitarist and songwriter) conjure 1930s and ’40s swing as Rachael & Vilray. The jazz duo weaves enchanting spells with timeless songs of passion and whimsy that evoke the era of Fats Waller, Peggy Lee, and Johnny Mercer with a wink of modern wit. “She can sing anything; he can play anything … Tin Pan Alley meets the Lower East Side in a smoky bar, in songs with a twist of humor” (NPR). Following their 2019 self-titled album, 2022’s release I Love a Love Song! garnered widespread acclaim and gigs at legendary venues such as Jazz at Lincoln Center, Cafe Carlyle, and The Troubador. Friends for more than two decades, Rachael & Vilray make their debut at The Ford for an evening of storytelling and romance.
