Missy Raines
A renowned bluegrass bassist and band player for many years, Raines stepped into her spotlight as a songwriter for the first time with 2018’s Royal Traveller. Tracks like “Allegheny Town” are understated but contain a tenacious spirit. Raines’ own vocals and lyrics are beautiful and sturdy like a blooming orchid tree.

From her tenure playing with The Claire Lynch Band, Eddie Adcock, Josh Graves, Jim Hurst, Kenny Baker, and Jesse McReynolds to her 7 International Bluegrass Music Association Bass Player of the Year awards, Missy Raines has proven herself without doubt as an iconic bluegrass instrumentalist.

Featuring previous and current members of her live band, as well as cameos from other bluegrass greats such as Stuart Duncan and Tim O'Brien, the album is a gorgeous look into the perspective, history, and musical influences of one of Nashville’s most beloved musicians, Missy Raines.
