Paul Rishel & Annie Raines

Description

Paul and Annie's newest project, Mojo Rodeo, features these veterans of Boston’s music scene joined by old friends Chris Rival and Mike Avery and newcomers from Berklee College of Music’s Country Blues and Roots programs, including bassist/vocalist Brad Bensko, lounge noir guitarist Chris Rival and drummer Mike Avery, and featuring special guests like folk soprano Christie Flemming and fiddle wizard Kathleen Parks, reimagining blues, bluegrass, honky-tonk country, classic oldies and choice originals. With tight vocal harmonies and a melding of old and new, they transform the street corner duo into a jubilee.

"While their guitar, harmonica, and vocals are roiling, muscular, and masterful, their shows are down home- friendly and fun-loving." - Scott Alarik, Boston Globe
