It’s hard to sound as easy as the Sons of Rainier. The band’s self-released debut Down in Pancake Valley is a bubbling brook of an album, flowing with casual charm, effortless yet inexorable. With acoustic guitar and upright bass and brushed snare, plus languid narration by a sweet, lilting voice, its opening number describes the landscape of the quartet’s open-range country folk: “Way out on the Payette River/Past the hills of Horseshoe Bend/Winds change course without warning/Sagebrush for miles on end…” The rest of the album rolls by just as vivid and spare.

Kinsey Lee is one third of the Indie Folk band The Wild Reeds. With 10 years of writing, touring, and performing on her resume she has begun to find her voice as a solo artist. Kinsey recently debuted her first solo track "Lover's song" recorded by Duff Thompson and Steph Green of Mashed Potato Records. She is currently working on a record as a follow up. Kinsey hopes to be like Bonnie Raitt, Carole King, Brandi Carlile,  and Lucinda Williams when she grows up. Musicians with strong lyrics, true grit, and a heartfelt story to tell.
