Havilah Rand

From the jazz halls of New York City to the post-grunge scene of Seattle to the Live Music Capital of the World, Havilah is a true troubadour whose career has spanned several decades and multiple genres. She has earned herself a steady audience and a respected name in Austin, TX where the caliber of musicianship is nothing less than stellar. With five full length albums under her belt and another on the way, she has been a winner of the Austin Songwriter Groups songwriting contest, regional performer at Kerrville Folk Festival and was nominated for the Austin Music Peoples Esme Barrera award for Music Activism in Education among numerous other accolades. Her songwriting blends a rootsy, rhythmic edge with a poetic lyricism born of adventure, self exploration and artistry at its most poignant. Painted with lush vocal stylings and honey-smoked melodies, Havilah's songs and voice remind the listener of Joni Mitchell and Nina Simone but with a soul all its own. Havilah also is the creator and leader of Young Songwriter Programs which present songwriting summer camps and workshops for kids of all ages, all over the world.
