Rachel Young-Sipos has a long history here in Kenosha, her family has been here for several generations, dating back to her great-great grandfather Charles Young being the longtime lighthouse keeper in Kenosha.

Through the years, Rachel’s love for music has led her in different directions. From her operatic aspirations, to hanging out at local open mics to meeting her future husband, Chris Sipos, and taking the local stages by storm, we cover it all!
