About this Event
Bella Rayne is a 18-year-old, self-taught guitar phenom from Mendocino, CA who is quickly making a name for herself in the music industry. Her love for the Grateful Dead, Southern Rock, 90s Grunge, and even a little Bluegrass, has been distilled into her own fresh approach that’s wowing audiences across the country. She carries the confidence, poise and talent of someone far beyond her years and this is a big reason why she’s already become a regular guest shredder, sharing the stage with heavy hitters including The Allman Betts Family Revival, Leftover Salmon, Melvin Seals & JGB, ALO, Jackie Greene, Oteil Burbridge and members of Terrapin Family in addition to performing as being invited to perform at several regional festivals including Bottlerock ‘25. She was even blessed with the honor of playing Jerry Garcia's Alligator guitar which doesn’t just happen to anyone! Among her other notable achievements are playing at Oracle Park for SF Giants Grateful Dead appreciation night, features in several publications including Guitar World , Premier Guitar, and Guitar Player, and earning reputable industry sponsorships including Fender and Ernie Ball. If you need any further affirmation of her star on the rise, she was mentioned as one to watch by her idol, Susan Tedeschi in Guitar World Magazine…
Bella Rayne has recently formed her own band, Bella Rayne & Friends, a high energy, guitar-driven ensemble with a revolving lineup of all-star musicians that bring jam band twists to soulful Southern Rock classics… plus some originals. This was supposed to be a few show run, but has continued due an influx in requests. Bella Rayne & Friends debuted at the Sweetwater Music Hall in September and have since been in high demand, performing at the Hopmonk Tavern, Crazy Horse Saloon, The David Nelson Band Festival, and Felton Music Hall with more on the horizon. In addition, she also leads a Grateful Dead tribute, Looks like RAYNE, which pays homage to the catalogs of the Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia Band in Bella’s own unique style. In her free time, she’s been hitting the studio in hopes of releasing her debut EP in the coming months!
In addition to being a gifted visual artist, creating her own promo art, Bella’s improvisational guitar solos are remarkable and heartfelt and her story is not just about her own accomplishments; it is about paving the way for other aspiring female musicians to follow their dreams fearlessly. Through her music and unwavering determination, she encourages young girls to pick up a guitar and embrace their musical talents without hesitation. Beyond her impressive performances, Bella is dedicated to making a difference through music and has partnered with to actively promote music education in schools, using her growing platform to inspire and encourage young musicians through in-school presentations.
