PRESENTED BY JON RAY

Raina Rose was born on the day the music died. She sings songs of long travels, stay-behinds, time that plays tricks, and governments that play tricks. She was a 2007 Kerrville New Folk Finalist, received honorable mention in the 2006 Telluride Troubadour Compettion, and has played at High Sierra Music Festival in '06 and '07.

Armed with her acoustic guitar and constellation tattoos, she lives in a van and is coming to your town to give you a little love. "Her voice is clear and sweet, recalling at times Suzanne Vega or Dirty Martini's McKinley, and even - when she opts for a slip-and-slide sort of phrasing popular with young female folkies these days - Ani DiFranco.

She is most compelling when she gets serious, as in the ruminative See You Singing, on which her multitracked vocals create a haunting effect, or the dark literary vignette Back Alley Butcher.... Suffice to say, this moth has taken wing." -Marty Hughley, Entertainment Editor, The Oregonian.

"Portland native Raina Rose is everything a young female folksinger should be...From her late duo the Gypsy Moths to her latest and best-yet CD, The Prophet, the Panhandler, and the Moon, her vocal, guitar and songwriting chops continue to flourish." -Jeff Rosenberg, Willamette Week, May '07.
