Missy Raines & Allegheny, 14-time IBMA Winner
Come on down to the beautiful Allegheny River in Foxburg for a glorious evening of BLUEGRASS AT IT BEST – with MISSY RAINES – who has won 14 International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) awards over the years including an astonishing 10 IBMA Bass Player of the Year honors – with her virtuoso band, ALLEGHENY, on Saturday, May 17 at 7:30 PM.
Along with Raines on bass and lead vocals, the members of Missy Raines and Allegheny include Ben Garnett on guitar, Eli Gilbert on banjo, Ellie Hakanson on fiddle and Tristan Scroggins on mandolin.
Missy Raines is a trailblazer in bluegrass music. Throughout her storied career, Raines has garnered some of the biggest accolades in the music industry, including 14 International Bluegrass Music Association honors, with 10 being awarded for “Bass Player of the Year.”
Missy Raines’ 2018 release Royal Traveller was also nominated for a Grammy Award for “Best Bluegrass Album” in 2020.
On her newest release Highlander, the bassist/ vocalist/songwriter returns to her bluegrass roots with a musical homage to the peaks and valleys of her native West Virginia.
That path has taken Raines on a long and adventurous musical journey which has been informed by the Southern Appalachian and Mid-Atlantic bluegrass of her youth. As a child and young teen, Raines soaked up the sounds of The Country Gentlemen, The Seldom Scene, The Johnson Mountain Boys, and the other neo-progressive groups that propelled bluegrass music forward in the 70s.
