Austin-based trumpeter Rachel Spencer is known for her expressive tone, stylistic agility, and dynamic presence as both a side musician and bandleader. She has toured internationally, most recently serving as lead trumpet on the North American Broadway tour of The Addams Family: A Musical Comedy.

Described as soulful and honest, her music takes inspiration from her musical heroes such as Kenny Garrett, Blue Mitchell, Roy Hargrove, and Bobby Shew.

Dr. Spencer is looking forward to releasing her debut recording, The Next Right Thing, which is pending release in early 2027.
