Drauden’s musical roots date back to early lullabies
“When she was a baby, I used to sing her a lullaby every night,” said Coal City resident Melody Drauden about her daughter, Rachel Drauden, now 15.
Rachel was raised with the understanding that music is important. Her mom and dad always had music playing wherever they went, in the house and in the car. Mom is a singer, and dad plays the drums and guitar.
