Get ready to ride a foot stompin’, finger-lickin’, ballad singin’, and honky tonk grit as Rah Rah Rabbit—fronted by singer-songwriter Laura Anne Lacy, better known as Rah Rah Rabbit—releases her debut album, Chasin’ Rabbits, Catchin’ Squirrels, on June 27 via Blackbird Records. This album is a rollercoaster of heartbreak and humor-filled with the energy that makes a person want to dance the night away.
Rooted in the tradition of outlaw country and soaked in the West Coast sun, Chasin’ Rabbits, Catchin’ Squirrels is a genre-hopping trip through desire, regret, and revelation. Each of the album’s nine tracks leans into a different emotional essence—whether dancing through twangy electric guitar and rollicking bass lines or swooning in sweet sadness with fiddle and lap steel, Chasin’ Rabbits is filled with an undeniable warmth that comforts the soul.
This record is about "chasing what you don't have, regretting what you get, and realizing what you needed you already had,” says Rah Rah Rabbit. “It’s equal parts restless and rooted—like me."
Led by Rah Rah Rabbit’s powerhouse voice and sharp lyrical wit, the album showcases a stellar cast of musicians from the alt-country scene. Fans of Lucinda Williams, Nikki Lane, and Sturgill Simpson will find something to love in Rah Rah Rabbit’s spirited blend of storytelling and sound.

The album was brought to life by a tight-knit creative team who poured themselves into every song. Producers Joe Napolitano, Dave "Mustang" Lang, and Jillinda Palmer worked closely with Rah Rah Rabbit to build a sound that feels raw, real, and distinctly her own. Recorded across multiple studios, including Tim O’Sullivan Studios, Bamboo View Studios, and Some Pun’kins Studios, the sessions created a collaborative atmosphere that captured the lightning-in-a-bottle feeling of a live band having a good time. From pedal steel to fiddle, harmonica to banjo, Rah Rah Rabbit’s crew of seasoned musicians added texture and soul to every song.
Chasin’ Rabbits, Catchin’ Squirrels is more than a debut—it’s a declaration of creative identity from an artist hiding in plain sight. With a voice that commands attention and songs that hit close to home, Rah Rah Rabbit isn’t just chasing dreams—she’s catching them and making the people dance with her on that journey.
