Genre: Acoustic Soul
Key Tracks: ALL

Rainy and The Dust are one of the top Acoustic Soul bands I've heard since Blues
Traveler first hit the scene in the 90s, and could easily be put on the same stage as
legendary bands like Frankie Beverly & Maze. Their latest project, Hold On To The
Rhythm, is 14 songs of pure awesomeness and it far exceeded my initial expectations.
Other bands should listen and take notes on what real music sounds like.

My favorite song on this album is "Giving". This song hit me like a ton of bricks and made
me realize that I can do more with my time by giving to others and leaving a lasting
positive impression on others. The lead vocalist really made me feel every single word he
had to say and I couldn't seem to move past this song until the 5th listen. The music is
well played and produced, laced with a mean bass, amazing percussive section and a
lively acoustic guitar that all work so well together you too will have a tough time moving
to the next cut on the album. This song is a AAA+ on my personal scale.

Every song on this project is incredible but, songs like "Look Up", "Gotta Move", "Hold On
To The Rhythm", "Message", and "Pinch of Silver", all stand out to me.

Overall, I'd say Rainy & The Dust are without a doubt one of the best Acoustic bands I've
heard in years, and I recommend checking them out.

MUSICAL GOAL: "My ultimate goal would be to get a chance to quit the day job and do
what I love doing most. Writing and performing music with my band Rainy and The Dust."
- Rainy (lead singer)
