Rachel Eckroth, a versatile recording artist known for her jazz-pop fusion, leads the collaborative masterpiece ‘Humanoid’ alongside guitarist Andrew Renfroe, bassist Billy Mohler, and drummer Tina Raymond. Eckroth, with a discography spanning 20 albums, recently released ‘The Garden’ and showcased her captivating stage presence opening for Rufus Wainwright. Beyond her TV appearances, she collaborated with saxophonist Donny McCaslin in 2020 and released singles, including “Moot Points” in 2021. Renfroe’s unique sound, blending Delta Blues to West African influences, adds depth, while Mohler’s jazz bass proficiency, honed at Berklee and under jazz legends, contributes to the ensemble’s richness.
