About Me

Rachel T. began writing songs in 2003 n an acoustic guitar. She began lurking open mic nights, patio front and house shows, sharing songs with a small audience in the summer of 2004. By the fall she began to play as Rachel T. Toombstone at various places in houston, como houses, Super Happy Fun Land and the Southmore House. After a brief hiatus Rachel T. came back playing in more houses in Houston as well as in the local infoshop and library, Sedition Books. The winter of 2006 Rachel drops the acoustic guitar and fake last name to begin her electric career as Sew What (SowWhatSoWhat). Since then she has played little more than a dozen small shows in Houston at various bars and venues. January 2008 is the self-proclaimed acoustic month, when Sew What returns to her acoustic roots. ----------------------------------------April 2008: Sew What aquires a second warm body. stay tuned! --------------------May 2008: Making shirts, getting ready for tour in June.

Ask at shows ask on the internet. we will get one to YOU!----
