Missy Raines and Allegheny

Missy Raines is a bluegrass trailblazer. The most awarded bass player in the history of the International Bluegrass Music Association, she sings, writes songs and leads a band. Allegheny is Ben Garnett on guitar, Eli Gilbert on banjo, Ellie Hakanson on fiddle, and Tristan Scroggins on mandolin. The band is named for the Allegheny highlands of West Virginia where Raines grew up. This band is a significant nod to her deep traditional bluegrass roots. The music is traditional and hard-driving at its core but energized with Raines’ well-known penchant for originality and innovation.
