Missy Raines & The New Hip

Americana::Folk
Missy Raines & The New Hip hits the downbeat, the riff and rhythm of electric guitar and the kick of acoustic bass and drums carry you across the first few changes. Then Missy's clear, intimate voice tells the story. You lean in and listen.
They don't manipulate you -- they move you. This is a band that trusts the simple, basic things that create a conversation between the listener and the band: rhythm, tone, space, and great new songs.
These players have honed their art. Although… Show more they are a new (and yes, hip) band, what comes through is their love and mastery of jazz, fusion, blues, Americana, and bluegrass.
They know the magic of music made fresh with each performance. The band explores old sounds and creates something new -- a dialog of acoustic and electric, of drive and groove, of what is and what if. When they play, you feel it--immediately.
" an ensemble perfectly balanced between brilliantly composed precision and equally brilliant spontaneity." - Jon Weisberger, The Nashville Scene
" The New Hip features some deft singer-songwriter vocal change-ups, as well as
musically witty instrumentals that cross over into what could just as well be labeled progressive jazz." -Wall Street Journal
