Rainbow Girls are a group of 5-6 female musicians who write and perform original material with roots in folk, americana, gypsy, funk, soul, and rock n'roll. In addition to their soaring 4 part harmonies, these ladies switch back and forth amongst a multitude of instruments including, but not limited to: guitar, ukelele, accordion, harmonica, banjolele, mandolin, dulcimer, bass, cello, piano, melodica, recorder, kazoo, washboard, djembe, drum kit, and stomp-tap percussion.

Born in an underground open mic night in Santa Barbara, CA, they began as an acoustic act, busking around the farmers markets of California before they hit the streets of Europe for a summer of couch surfing and busking. Since their return, they have evolved into an electric gypsy-americana-stomp-folk band, complete with drums, bass, and a whole lotta stompin'.

They spent 2012 touring the western half of the United States, and this summer they are returning to Europe to tour festivals in the UK, Italy, and the Czech Republic. They are known to put on one hell of a show.
