Kieran Kane and Rayna Gellert have collaborated on multiple acclaimed solo and duo projects since 2016. Kane’s songs have been performed and recorded by a who’s who of Americana artists, and Rayna Gellert’s solo work combines her love of rural stringband music with heartfelt gospel songs and old ballads. Sparse and skillful arrangements of guitar, fiddle and banjo accompany their rich vocal harmonies in a sound that embodies “an understated and unpretentious virtuosity” and “exudes a seductive magic” (No Depression).
