Paul Rishell & Annie Raines

CD RELEASE CELEBRATION FOR 'TALKING GUITAR'
FEATURING SPECIAL MUSICAL GUESTS AND BLUE RIBBON BBQ

Please join us to hear the nationally known Blues/Country duo of PAUL RISHELL AND ANNIE RAINES as they and their band perform music from their substantial catalog and Paul's new CD. Touring internationally at festivals, clubs, and concert halls, and teaching workshops and seminars, Paul Rishell & Annie Raines have earned loyal fans around the globe. Paul and Annie are featured in the new jug band music documentary, Chasin' Gus' Ghost, which debuted at the San Francisco Film Festival in August 2007. They have performed on diverse radio and TV shows including A Prairie Home Companion, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and PBS's Arthur. They have performed and recorded with Susan Tedeschi, John Sebastian, Pinetop Perkins, and Rory Block. Susan Tedeschi recorded an "unplugged" version of Paul's Blues on a Holiday with Paul and Annie for her 2003 release, Wait For Me.

"W.C. Handy Award-winners Rishell & Raines are rousing interpreters of country blues, the original acoustic style that gave birth to electric blues, R&B, and rock. While their guitar, harmonica, and vocals are roiling, muscular, and masterful, their shows are down home-friendly and fun-loving."--Scott Alarik, BOSTON GLOBE
