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.
