By celebrating the poetic instrumentals of Old (and New)-Time Appalachia and beyond, Perry Blosser (mandolin), Seth Stauffer (fiddle), Jesse Reist-Miller (cello), and Madeline Reist-Miller (banjo) make up The Rain Pickers, a newly-ripened string band from the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. From distinguished stages to casual shindigs, their modern-yet-reverent energy has captivated a broad audience.
