Bio

Carolee Rainey's newest release ‘Hard Times in the Heart’ is a re-arrangement of the first song she ever wrote, landing her a publishing deal. The song was recorded down in Nashville with musicians from Emmy Lou Harris's band.   


Her  last single, ‘BABY'  is a heartwarming depiction that describes every person’s journey as they fly solo into this world for the first time.  It went to no. 26 on the Redlist chart, between Dan+Shay and Luke Combs.
Featured on several Spotify playlists and racing up the MTV charts as well as the video on YouTube ‘BABY’ will also be featured on Carolee’s upcoming album ‘ROOTED’ as well as the documentary she wrote of the same name to make it’s debut in 2024.

This folk rock Americana singer-songwriter writes with an inimitable spirit of poetry .
When life pulls you up and throws you down you learn to become flexible-fast. Maybe that’s why her lyrics and melodies run with vulnerability and conviction.

At a young age she hitched west and busked in Fisherman’s Wharf by day and played jazz and country bars by night. This was her  walk in the storm before landing her first publishing and record deal.

A true multi-dimensional artist, Rainey also brings her creativity to painting. Adding this layer to her songwriting, she calls her current collection of music a canvas of old stories, new ideas and wild inspirations. Don’t miss a note from this soaring new artist as she embraces you along her journey.
