Immersed in their strong Canadian roots, and unwavering in controlling their own destiny, 
Shade Stone and Cliff McPherson of the Raynes are a true David and Goliath story in the making. Unwilling to compromise direction, creativity and musical integrity for the occasional ‘dangling carrot’’, this self-produced, self-promoted and self-managed duo have sculpted their own success both locally and nationally. The name “Raynes”, though creatively misspelled, is empowering in itself and evokes a call to freedom and independence.
Conceived in early 2006, the idea of combining memorable melodies with mature lyrics resulted in their debut album ‘silver baby … golden dream’. Not just a title, but a message affirming that age is not a prerequisite to pursuing one’s passion. In an album charged with inspiring messages of love as well as life’s disappointments, its accomplishments have even surpassed the expectations of both its creators.
