Rain is 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 Mellencamp, 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 them at the Wheatland Jam Festival, the Cotillion Ballroom or on the West Bank Stage at the Wichita River Festival, opening concerts for Boston, Journey, REO Speedwagon and .38 Special. Or perhaps you’ve seen Rain at events for Raytheon Aircraft, Cessna Aircraft, the American Diabetes Association, MDA Bikers for Babies or private parties and nightclubs around the region.
The six players, and their soundman, are about making the music as good as they can make it, and making sure everyone is having fun. 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. Rain prides itself on not just playing songs, but putting on an interactive show. A great mix of outstanding musicianship and just plain fun!
