What is Rain all about?   We’re about good times and putting the audience on the dance floor. Remember the music that helped make the great times great? That’s what Rain is about!

Rain plays the good-time songs you remember, mostly from the 60’s and 70’s.  You’ll know all the words. With timeless classics by Wilson Pickett, The Beatles, John Mellancamp, The Doobie Brothers, Marvin Gaye, Bob Seger, Van Morrison, Stevie Wonder, Queen, Joe Cocker, and lots more (even a little Travis Tritt), plus some one-hit-wonders you might have forgotten about, Rain intends to keep you on the dance floor from start to finish.

Rain was formed in early 2004 from seasoned musicians in the Wichita, Kansas area.  Now a first-call band for concerts and special events of all kinds, you may have seen us at the 3-day Wheatland Jam Festival, or the Cotillion Ballroom or on the West Bank Stage at the Wichita River Festival opening concerts by Boston, Journey, REO Speedwagon, .38 Special and 1964: The (Beatles) Tribute.   Or perhaps you’ve seen us at events for Raytheon Aircraft, Cessna Aircraft, the American Diabetes Association, MDA Bikers for Babies or other special events, private parties and nightclubs around the region.

What about the players?  The six players, and their soundman, are about two things - making the music as good as we can make it, and everyone having fun, both you and us. There’s a lot of experience in the band, and there’s some young cats, too. Several of us teach privately but we all only know one way to play, and that’s as if it’s our last time. Check out the Bios page for more info on each member.

There’s a wide range of musical influences in the band, spanning at least a couple of generations, including British rock, Chicago blues, horn bands, jazz, metal, country, Motown and the great male singer/songwriters. Everyone’s ears and ideas go into making each Rain selection fresh but faithful to the original.  With Rocky’s powerful vocals and the band’s tight arrangements, Rain takes the audience on a roller-coaster dynamic musical journey it won’t soon forget.
