Raintown

Raintown have shown that talent, ambition and honesty can still prevail in an ever changing music industry.

They deliver a startling take on UK contemporary country that is both firmly-rooted and unashamedly forward-thinking. This is NOT your twangy traditional country but a fresh, modern and dynamic sound from an act that are not afraid of doing something left of centre e.g. their phenomenal cover of BLUE’s ‘One Love!’

From late 2015 and through to 2017, their live reputation continued to grow with performances that included, a successful UK tour, a 5th consecutive appearance at Country2Country, headlining the Buckle and Boots Festival, supporting Runrig at the iconic Shepherd’s Bush Empire and Deacon Blue at Montrose Music Festival.

15 awards in 4 years, a critically acclaimed new album and the only act to be involved in all the mega-successful Country2Country festivals. Their intensely charismatic live performances are imbued with a spirit and energy that that make their sound accessible to all music lovers.

Writing on the Wall - their 5-star rated album - captures the raw energy, chemistry and spirit of their live shows. That’s where Raintown truly come alive, with a polished mix of bright, guitar-led, Country/Pop, up-tempo Celtic Rock and melodic heartfelt ballads; all arranged around the superb harmonies of two voices that were born to mesh.

Paul Bain and Claire McArthur-Bain, are more than just a love story, they fuse their passion for Country Music with their eclectic musical influences and continue the tradition of exciting new music to emerge from Glasgow.

Their electrifying live performances and sensational new music have elevated this impressive duo to new heights and cemented their place as one of the UK’s leading ‘new breed’ of Country acts alongside the likes of The Shires and Ward Thomas.
