Irrational Fear's unique sound blends elements of alternative rock, electric folk, and the abandon of punk to create a sound that is slightly off center and never generic!

 

From the night they met and simultaneously quoted the same Pretenders lyric, Lynn Elliott and Rebecca Reed knew that they had made a connection and found common ground ~ Music. Reed was looking for a voice capable of capturing the vision of her songs. Elliott was seeking a writer capable of sparking her interest and her selective musical taste. Reed's somewhat unorthodox writing style became the perfect vehicle for Elliott's remarkable voice.

 

Lynn Elliott, an accomplished singer/guitarist has been performing as a vocalist since age 11. It is obvious when seeing the band in person as Elliott turns on the charm. She entices the audience with her smooth voice, confidence, and ease.

 

Never failing to inspire, Rebecca Reed's passion for life rings true through her music and words. Reed has become quite prolific, writing forthright, thought provoking songs that never fail to touch the listener. Reed was recently honored by being voted one of Louisville’s best songwriters in the 2003 LEO Reader’s Choice Awards.

 

To date, Irrational Fear has 2 recordings, a 3 song EP and a full length CD, which have both earned them some respectable accolades. Louisville station WLRS 105.1 featured Irrational Fear on the KY Fried Radio Hour where the band’s tune "Excuse Me" was voted the third most requested song by listeners over a six week period. Laney Goodman, Fem Music Guru and Host/Producer of the nationally syndicated radio program, Women In Music, wrote the band personally to say "You all rock!" and that she would be featuring all three cuts from the EP for her new show on her Internet radio station www.womenonair.com.  WFPK 91.9 Radio Louisville also featured all three songs from Irrational Fear's debut and has recently added Irrational Fear’s new release, Closer to Daylight, to its play list and the song Benefit of the Doubt has been placed in regular rotation.  Closer to Daylight was mixed and co-produced by Joe Funderburk, one of Nashville, TN’s foremost engineers/producers.  

 

Irrational Fear is touring regionally in support of their new CD Closer to Daylight.  They recently performed in Chicago IL., Detroit MI, at Austin, TX’s famed Continental Club, at Houston TX‘s Rhythm Room in the GoGirls Music showcase, Baton Rouge, and New Orleans LA.  In New Orleans, Irrational Fear played a set at Snug Harbor backed by The Charmaine Neville Band and subsequently were asked to sit in on a couple of numbers with Ms. Neville.  Irrational Fear returned to Austin in March where they performed in two shows at 2005’s Invasion of the GoGirls Music Showcase during SXSW 2005.

 

Irrational Fear is a GoGirls Music Elite member, is a performing member of Indiegrrl, and has affiliated with Sesac performing rights organization. Irrational Fear is an active member of LMIA (Louisville Music Industry Alliance) which advocates the Louisville original music scene. Irrational Fear performed at the 2003 Mom’s Music Festival in Louisville, Kentucky and the 2003 and 2004 Midwest Entertainment Industry Conference in Lexington, Kentucky.
