Raina "Railroad" Rose first began performing when she was three, singing "Johnny B. Goode" with her father and sister in a house high on a hill in Eagle Rock, CA. In 1988 her family moved to Portland, Oregon. Although she considers Portland her home, she currently splits her time between the Pacific Northwest and Austin, Texas.
As young girls Raina and her sister, Marisa, used to rock out with their dad as he played "Jugband Music" by the Spoonful, or "Maybelline" by Chuck Berry and when Marisa started playing Beatles records on an old beat-up record player in the other room late at night, Raina would absorb them for hours listening through the wall as she sang along.
Raina's dad, Mo, introduced her to the guitar when she was 11, right around the time he found a double live Ani DiFranco album in a studio space he was renting out. So he gave her the album and encouraged her to start pickin'. From that moment forward, Raina's musical world burst wide open. She devoured songwriters old and new, such as Joni Mitchel, Dar Williams, the Indigo Girls, Dan Bern, Robert Hunter, Paul Simon, Elliott Smith, and a whole slew of new folks who used to and still create good, honest, soul-wrenching music that may or may not fly under the radar of the masses.
Raina's solo debut "Despite the Crushing Weight of Gravity" came out in August 2005. Produced by Jim Brunberg at Mississippi Studios in Portland, OR, it has been called an indiefolk masterpiece by the press. Produced in collaboration with her father Mo (Western & Country music history buff), and featuring original illustrations by Three Pin Artist Giovanni Salimena, The Prophet, The Panhandler and The Moon is a strikingly sweet sophomore album from a serious yet sincere indie-folk-singer. –threepin.org
