Wonderful Wednesday: Rachel Hillman Band
Wednesday, June 17 | 6–8 PM
📍 Goodwood Museum & Gardens

Join us for Wonderful Wednesday at Goodwood Museum & Gardens featuring live music from Rachel Hillman Band on Wednesday, June 17!

Blending North Florida ecology with groove-driven jazz, folk, and soul, this Tallahassee-based ensemble draws inspiration from winding spring systems, cicada choirs, roadside wetlands, and the layered musical traditions of the American South. Influenced by the playful phrasing of Ella Fitzgerald and Anita O’Day, alongside the modern songwriting sensibilities of Lake Street Dive, the group combines theatrical storytelling with deep rhythmic interplay.

The ensemble features upright and electric bass, Rhodes-inspired keyboards, layered percussion, drums informed by samba, neo-soul, and D’Angelo-influenced pocket grooves, alongside expressive guitar and vocal textures. Their sound moves fluidly between intimate jazz club energy, porch-song warmth, and improvisatory exploration.

With songs inspired by Florida landscapes and Southern biodiversity, the group aims to create performances that feel both grounded and transportive — equal parts listening-room concert, jam session, and ecological storytelling experience.

Enjoy beer and wine from the Goodwood concession stand, plus delicious bites from Damas Café and Right on Que BBQ food truck while you soak in live music beneath Goodwood’s historic oaks.

Tickets: $5 | Free for Goodwood Members | Free for kids age 15 and under

Don't miss this mid-week Tallahassee tradition of live music, good food, and great company!
