ROSE was born on the day the music died. She sings folk-borne americana songs of long travels, fictional characters, time that plays tricks and governments that play tricks. Starting her life in Los Angeles during the Regan era, her family soon emigrated to lovely Portland, OR where Raina cut her teeth on the notable music scene. One foot firmly planted in the NW city and the other ankle-deep in the Pacific Coast, Raina took off on tour in late 2005 and has been at it ever since. Thanks to the campfires of the Kerrville Folk Festival, Raina found the draw of the Austin music community too strong and now calls the Live Music Capital of the World her homebase. She let that southern flavor sink in and now serves a brave and heartbreaking brew of fingerpicking, flatpicking, and feather voiced stories. She was a 2007 Kerrville New Folk Finalist, received honorable mention in the 2006 Telluride Troubadour Compettion, and played at High Sierra Music Festival in '06 and '07.
Catch this bird in flight all over the country.
What a wonderful and uplifting concert with Food for the Soul. Lots of folks came to the concert, in fact there was standing room only.. Bonnie Nichols, Susanne Little, and Vickie Tinker created some outstanding harmonies and lovely melodies. While outside the fog rolled in and out with the tides along the slough.
