Sugar Maple welcomes Missy Raines

The Sugar Maple Music Festival welcomes Missy Raines to Madison, WI.

Friday, June 7 at 8:00pm at the North Street Cabaret

In 1998, Missy Raines became the first woman to win IBMAs Bass Player of the Year award and she went on to win the title more than any other bass player in the history of the organization, male or female. Royal Traveller highlights this particular piece of Raines history with the stand out track Swept Away, which features the 5 first women to win IBMA instrumentalist awards, Raines, Alison Brown (banjo), Sierra Hull (mandolin), Becky Buller (fiddle), and Molly Tuttle (guitar). Swept Away was nominated by the IBMA for Song of the Year and for Recorded Event of the Year awards.

From her tenure playing with The Claire Lynch Band, 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. But with her newest release, Royal Traveller, Raines has stepped into the spotlight as a songwriter for the first time. The album digs deep into Raines family life and her upbringing in West Virginia. Featuring an array of incredible musicians including some previous and current members of her live band, and cameos from other bluegrass greats such as Stuart Duncan and Tim OBrien, the album is a gorgeous look into the perspective, history, and musical influences of one of Nashvilles most beloved musicians, Missy Raines.
