Annie Raines- is a diatonic blues player from New England.
Annie took up the harmonica at the age of 17. Fascinated by the sounds of Muddy Waters, Little Walter Jacobs, and Sonny Boy Williamson, she spent time absorbing the music of the Chicago blues masters. She began to busk locally and played gigs at local Boston clubs, and later travelled to Chicago, where she met and played with Pinetop Perkins and James Cotton. While working regularly on the regional blues circuit, Raines taught harmonica and began developing her style within the blues tradition.
She met and began working with Paul Rishell, who lent musical support to her skills on harmonica, piano, singing, and songwriting.
