The Band

Raven and Red is a music duo known for their versatility, resilience, and compelling sound that breaks free from limitations. Comprised of classically trained musicians Brittany Jones and Mitchell Lane, the duo has garnered acclaim for its ability to weave effortlessly into the timeless tradition of the Trans-Atlantic folk idiom, as described by Written In Music. Their music is a vibrant tapestry of influences that keeps listeners engaged with “tight harmonies, adept musicianship, and shifting genres,” as noted by Glide Magazine.

Their 2018 album, We Rise Up, was hailed by Fatea Magazine in the U.K. as “one of the best debut country albums of the year.” The album also earned a spot in Deep Roots Magazine’s “Top 10 Albums of the Year” roundup by Rock Critic, David McGee, former Music Editor of Rolling Stone and BarnesandNoble.com. In the 61st Grammy Awards, We Rise Up was considered for 10 nominations, and the title track, “We Rise Up,” soared to #1 for 10 consecutive weeks on the Top 50 Contemporary Country Songs Chart.

Widely recognized for their ability to craft melodic songs that tell stories and push boundaries, Raven and Red’s dynamic repertoire has earned them a devoted following. The duo has opened for a range of iconic acts, including Grammy Award-nominees Connie Smith and Dailey & Vincent, multi award-winning bluegrass groups Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out and The Claire Lynch Band, and Irish pop/Celtic rock band, Screaming Orphans. In 2018, Raven and Red joined the lineup at Dailey & Vincent’s Annual LandFest in the Mountains. Having spent several years as regular performers in Nashville, Brittany and Mitchell now captivate audiences in New York City, and can be seen on stage with notable music groups at Carnegie Hall, Radio City Music Hall, and Madison Square Garden.

In addition to their current repertoire, Raven and Red has expanded into the Celtic music genre with recordings and live performances, headlining several top festivals around the U.S. including the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games, Stone Mountain Highland Games, Smoky Mountain Scottish Festival, Blairsville Scottish Festival & Highland Games, Dandridge Scots-Irish Festival, Big Stone Gap Celtic Festival, and others.

Raven and Red understands that great music transcends time and place—rooted in the past, but always rising up toward the future.
