Rayna Gellert

Hey hey!

So much fun stuff to share! 

First of all, I've been having a blast getting to play more with Scott Miller -- check out my calendar page to see the ever-expanding slate of shows I've got with him. 

In related news: our acoustic duo EP, CoDependents, is out and available. You can pick one up at our shows, by ordering online, or via iTunes. It has been getting some sweet reviews!

My solo album, Old Light: Songs from my Childhood & Other Gone Worlds, is now mastered! Onward and upward! 

And in old-time fiddle news: I'm honored to be on the teaching staff at The Swannanoa Gathering's Fiddle Week this year. It's going to be a truly amazing musical pile-up! 

Lots more fun info (including some Toubab Krewe excitement) coming soon...

Thanks for stopping by!

:)

Rayna Gellert grew up in a musical family, and has spent most of her life immersed in the sounds of rural stringband music, heartfelt gospel songs, and old ballads. After honing her fiddle skills playing at jam sessions and square dances, Rayna fell into a life of traveling and performing. Her fiddle albums are widely celebrated in the old-time music community, and she has recorded with a host of musicians in a variety of styles – including Robyn Hitchcock, Tyler Ramsey, Sara Watkins, Loudon Wainwright III, John Paul Jones, and Abigail Washburn. From 2003 through 2008, Rayna was a member of the acclaimed stringband Uncle Earl, with whom she released two albums on Rounder Records and toured like mad. These days she can be found on stage with Scott Miller, Toubab Krewe, or her father, Dan Gellert. She lives in Swannanoa, North Carolina.
