Rainberry Pie guest spot at the Bunker Monday May 25th.

The core of Rainberry Pie is the sometimes edgy, sometimes dulcet, and always enchanting vocal harmonies of Deborah Mackenzie and Micheal Young. The vocals are backed up by a well defined acoustic instrumental groove. Not willing to be constrained to a narrow genre, Rainberry Pie explores many acoustic styles from alt-country, western swing, bluegrass, and pop, all while maintaining a cohesive and distinctive Rainberry sound. Deborah plays percussion. Micheal plays guitar. David Blackman provides tasty fills on fiddle and mandolin while Cathy Dyer lays down a solid foundation on double bass.
There will be floor singers in the first half of the night. Rainberry Pie will perform in the second half. Members $5, non-members $8.
