Brianna Rae Band

Driftless storytelling rinsed with rock and blues whispers from muddy banks of the meandering Mississippi River Valley. Low and raspy, Brianna’s true-to-definition alto voice draws comparisons to Melissa Etheridge and Stevie Nicks while stimulating thought-provoking songs designed to tell stories about what shapes her reality. Brianna, an amateur genealogist with little insight into her roots, aims to tell stories cloaked in symbolism about her family lines and her general observations about the world around her. She draws inspiration from the vast network of rivers and valleys in the Driftless Region of the meandering Mississippi River Valley, culminating in songs characterized as “home-grown.” Featuring crunchy guitar tones mimicking the rocky outcroppings of the river valley, reliable, no-fluff stable key and bass lines, and anchoring rhythms, they are well-poised to make a splash in the musical landscape like children playing in the river.
