missy raines & the new hip has the right recipe:
Start with bluegrass virtuosity. Add in a jazz-tinged groove and a song-driven sensibility. Dish it up with a hot band of young players. Here's a group that moves easily from fun, funky instrumentals to sophisticated songs of longing and hope.
She may be a 7 time International Bluegrass Music Association's Bass Player of the Year, but Missy colors far outside the lines of the style she started out in. With the New Hip she leads a group of fearless, gifted players who are at ease in almost any genre. Together they are reshaping the acoustic landscape.



Time to dust off the old superlatives: missy raines & the the new hip *is* new, hip and fresh.
