Rain Check Band

Rain Check, a Winston-Salem based acoustic quartet, has found its niche in putting a bluegrass twist on covers of songs by some of the world’s greatest songwriters from the ‘70’s on, combining them with an ever growing list of their own originals, along with an impressive collection of bluegrass classics. The result is total fun for any audience, anywhere.

Available for live performances in the mid-Atlantic states. Live music venues, festivals, corporate events, weddings and private parties preferred.
