Rayna Gellert grew up in a musical family, and has spent most of her life immersed in the sounds of rural stringband music, heartfelt gospel songs, and old ballads. After honing her fiddle skills playing at jam sessions and square dances, Rayna fell into a life of traveling and performing. Her fiddle albums are widely celebrated in the old-time music community, and she has recorded and collaborated with a host of musicians in a variety of styles – including Robyn Hitchcock, Tyler Ramsey, Sara Watkins, John Paul Jones, and Joachim Cooder. Rayna was a member of the acclaimed stringband Uncle Earl, with whom she released two albums on Rounder Records and toured like mad. She has also toured extensively with songwriter Scott Miller, as well as her Uncle Earl bandmate Abigail Washburn. In recent years, Rayna’s focus has turned toward songwriting and singing, releasing two solo albums -- Old Light: Songs from my Childhood & Other Gone Worlds and Workin's Too Hard -- on StorySound Records. Since 2016, she has been writing, recording, and performing with Kieran Kane. Their duo releases on Dead Reckoning Records (2018's The Ledges, followed by When the Sun Goes Down in 2019) have been lauded for their groove-oriented minimalism and song craft. Rayna lives in Nashville, Tennessee.
