Rayna Gellert grew up in a musical family, and has spent most her life immersed in the sounds of rural stringband music, heartfelt gospel, and old ballads. After honing her fiddle skills playing at jam sessions and square dances, Rayna fell into a life of traveling and performing. Her fiddle albums are widely celebrated in the old-time music community, and she has recorded with a host of musicians in a variety of styles – including Tyler Ramsey, Sara Watkins, and Toubab Krewe. From 2003 through 2008, Rayna was a member of the acclaimed stringband Uncle Earl, with whom she recorded two albums. Since leaving that band, she has been hatching new collaborations, sitting in with Toubab Krewe, and performing with her father, Dan Gellert.
