| 10/4/2024 | Weaving tales of life's adventures through heart pounding rhythms and powerful lyrics, Raquel & The Wildflowers will take you on a journey where the dust settles and the cowboys & cowgirls dance. Singer/Songwriter Raquel de Souza won a ReverbNation contest in 2018 for her first single ``Run Towards the Highway``. The song went #32 on DRT Top 50 Country Airplay charts alongside country stars like Carrie Underwood and Luke Bryan. Shortly after she performed live on air for several radio stations throughout the USA. A year later in 2019, Raquel changed her artist name to Raquel & The Wildflowers. Since then, she has toured the USA independently with her band, lighting up stages featuring headliners like Dierks Bentley, Kane Brown, Thomas Rhett, Sara Evans, and others. Other notable performances include opening for multi-platinum artist Andy Grammer, award winning bands as well as performing at the Ohio State Fair, The Big E Fair, MusikFest, Country Fest, Lando Live, Thursdays Downtown, Northern Appalachian Folk Festival, The Cutting Room, The Geneseo Riviera and more.
