Paul Rishell and Annie Raines
Blues/Americana/Acoustic
Biography
Winner of the W.C. Handy Acoustic Blues Album of the Year, Paul and
Annie both base their ensemble playing style on close communication,
listening keenly to the other players to support rather than overshadow
one another. Reservations recommended.
Quotes
- "W.C. Handy Award-winners Rishell & Raines are rousing
interpreters of country blues, the original acoustic style that gave
birth to electric blues, R&B, and rock. While their guitar,
harmonica, and vocals are roiling, muscular, and masterful, their shows
are down home-friendly and fun-loving."
