RACHEL ANA DOBKEN
“Acceptance” Record Release Show
with special guests DRKHRT, Jwalttz

Rachel Ana Dobken is a quadruple threat (drums, guitar, vocals, keys) from Asbury Park, NJ. Described as “My Morning Jacket-meets-Amy Winehouse,” she has a knack for blending heavy indie-rock & soul, and has been featured by Relix, Guitar Girl Magazine, The Aquarian Weekly, The Star Ledger & more. Dobken worked closely with Danny Clinch and has sat in with the likes of Ben Kenney (Incubus), Mike McCready, Blind Melon, Robert Randolph, Rayland Baxter & more.

Dobken’s highly anticipated upcoming album “Acceptance” (2023) was produced by Erik Romero (The Front Bottoms) and Paul Ritchie (The Parlor Mob, gods, DRKHRT) in conjunction with Dobken. She played drums, guitar, keys and sang alongside bandmate/bassist Dan Haase, Erik Rudic (guitar), Mark Masefield (organ) and more special guests TBA.  She will also be joined by current guitarist JT Sofo on April 5th.

DRKHRT is a rock band from Asbury Park, NJ, formed by Paul Ritchie (The Parlor Mob, gods), Ray Beck (Mohican, slowdust) Gary Zampini (Gringo Motel, gods) & Chad Sabo (The Cold Seas. Their first release “Wild Dreams” was something right out of their inner minds transferred like ink to paper, an erratic and chaotic story sketched out in under 15 minutes of heavy tones, blown out drums, riffs, and catchy melodies.

Jwalttz is a DIY bedroom project that James Waltsak started back in high school in Shark River Hills, NJ. Taking inspiration from many different sources, his music represents different things one feels navigating throughout different points of life. James states “I’m not really sure what I’m doing , but I know that I enjoy what I’m doing.”
