When Raine Stern first picked up a guitar at 11 years old, she found a home for the stories she had always felt the need to tell. Whether writing, producing, or performing live, her impressive talent is met head-on with an undeniable sense of purpose. Her lyricism is potent and poetic, and her arrangements succeed at filling the cracks that language can’t. As well as being a good writer, Raine is known for her mature guitar playing. 

“It is not every day you witness a musician in her early 20s leading a 9-piece band. Then again, Stern is not your average young musician. Stern’s youthful exuberance was on full display–bounding across stage to dance with band mates while ripping out an incredible solo.” – Shepherd Express on Summerfest 2019
