Michaela Rae is a 16-year-old guitarist with a decade’s worth of playing the blues, picking up skills quickly and expertly, making her a rising star to watch on the Colorado music scene. Her debut CD, Blues with a Backbone, was released in June 2009, and showcases her “plenty solid” guitar playing (Westword). Michaela has appeared on numerous esteemed stages from the Blues From The Top Festival to the International Blues Challenge, and she’s currently working on new material for her next album. In her spare time, she races dragsters, runs track, excels in art and math, and loves being a teenage girl.

“Rae is full of skill that's so beyond her level it's almost ridiculous.”
Abbey K. Davis - MuzikReviews.com
“I thoroughly enjoyed Michaela's first CD and I understand that she is currently working up material for her next one. The guitar work and production were excellent and even the developing vocal styling of Michaela was always adorable, if not always perfect.”
