Living in a city that has the highest number of shitty bands per capita than any other city in the US can be a real drag.\u00a0 Atlanta is a city full of bands and musicians that have underwhelmed me to the point of no return but there are a few exceptions to that.\u00a0 One of those exceptions is that outstanding band Rae and the Ragdolls.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rae and the Ragdolls are a band of young hippie misfits with old souls and a sound as classic yet fresh as the \u201860s and \u201870s bands that inspire them.\u00a0 Rae and the Ragdolls pull from influences such as the Grateful Dead, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, and Jefferson Airplane.\u00a0 Just don\u2019t go trying to compare lead vocalist \u00a0Natasha \u201cRae\u201d Wermers to Stevie Nicks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rae and the Ragdolls are something very new yet very familiar.\u00a0 They are a band that I very much needed to hear and I\u2019m so glad I stumbled upon them.\u00a0 I had the pleasure of talking with vocalist Natasha \u201cRae\u201d Wermers and guitarist Will Bennett and they were so much fun to chat with.\u00a0 We talked about their love of the Grateful Dead and jam bands, why playing live is where it\u2019s at for them, and just how a bunch of youngins got into playing the fantastic music that the make!<\/p>\n
Enjoy, y\u2019all!<\/p>\n
