Rachel Hilton

With inspiration from her sisters and parents, Rachel developed an eclectic taste in music early on in life. Growing up in the foothills of North Carolina, Rachel often enjoyed going to concerts and listening to all kinds of music, both new and old. While working towards her undergraduate degree in history at UNC Asheville, she discovered her fascination and passion for music history while researching Earl Scruggs and his impact on Bluegrass music. Rachel has been a part of WNCW since 2021 as a co-host of Celtic Winds. In March of 2024, she and Spencer Jones debuted WNCW’s Electronic music program, Eclectic Electric.
