Bio

Out of the Rain is a folk duo noted for innovative arrangements and unusual expressive power. Although Ron Hipp has been well known in the Atlanta area as an accomplished solo singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist and Carol Statella has played viola and sung in various ensembles as a side musician over the years, their recent joining forces to regularly perform and record music together has resulted in a compelling, poignant sound that is both timeless and fresh.

About

Ron Hipp is an acoustic fingerstyle guitarist/singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. A native of Atlanta, Ron has been performing both solo and in various band combinations since about the age of 16. His rich baritone voice, intricate fingerpicking, altered guitar tunings, beautiful original songs and instrumentals make his shows an unforgettable experience. Ron has graced many a recording project by other artists over the years as a studio musician and has many CD cover photos to his credit, being a professional photographer as well.

At home in many musical styles, violist/violinist/singer Carol Statella has played in backup orchestras for Joni Mitchell, The Moody Blues, and Brian Wilson, and has contributed to numerous other recording projects. As a music journalist writing for High Performance Review and Rockrgrl magazines, she interviewed Caroline Aiken and Robert Shaw, while also working as a public radio announcer. In the classical realm, she's played in the Atlanta Opera Orchestra and sung with the Atlanta Symphony Chorus.

Ron and Carol have known each other and been playing together for well over a decade, through many artistic and personal evolutions. Their sound has been described as warm and eloquent. Onstage, Ron and Carol draw audiences in with artful musicality, occasionally inane humor, and absolute focus on inviting the listener into the depths of a song. While continuing to perform in intimate venues around North Georgia, they are recording a selection of songs and instrumentals for upcoming release.
