SEEKING OUT ALL NON-BELIEVERS

About Me

From the depths of rural south-east England emerge the UK's finest Americana band.. The Ravines. Chris Corney (vocals) and James Crossley (drums) met in 2000 while playing in 'new wave' band 'the contrast'. Having decided to form a band to perform Chris' ever growing catalogue of songs, they recorded their debut album 'Manifesto of a broken heart' in early 2006. They soon recruited old friends Nick Mailing on bass, and Guy Griffin on guitar and set out to gig the album. Recent additions, Australian Trysette Loosemore on backing vocals, and Rob Bond on pedal steel complete the line up. The band's sound of crisp harmonies and hook laden tunes has been likened to that of the Smithereens, squeeze and crowded house. Do yourself a favour and get to one of the live shows.. the future looks bright for the Ravines....."425" height="350"
