We’re all sold out of our new album on vinyl, however you can still listen all the other ways folks do and I’d be happy if you did. I wrote out these lyric sheets and tucked em into the last 50 or so records I sold. If you bought the album (on vinyl or on bandcamp) and you didn’t get the lyric sheet, send me a dm with your address and I’ll happily drop one in the mail for you.

Thanks for the support folks! Stay tuned for a Seattle winter show announcement soon! by @sonsofrainier

New day. New album. New shirt. New shows.

We made a record and will release it into the digital world Sunday August 2. I also made these shirts on my kitchen table. All merch stuff will only be available in person at our shows coming up for the next couple weeks. After that I’ll post about how to order stuff online.

I’m so grateful for the fleeting moments that this band gets to exist in the world. Hope to see you out there.

Today's band highlight: The Sons of Rainier

They are performing Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

At the dawn of 2017, Devin Champlin brought a couple of his original songs to Dean Johnson with the invitation to sing in harmony together. That proved to be joyful, and they tapped Sam Gelband to join in with his sturdy baritone to be the middleman. Quickly this bore fruit, so they invited Charlie Meyer along for the ride with his lovely bass playing skills. At that, The Sons of Rainier were born.

Devin Champlin has been writing songs since he first picked up a hand-me-down guitar at the age of twelve. Through his teen years and early twenties he found his cultural home in DIY punk music and skateboarding. At some point in there he picked up his dad’s banjo more often than not and spent over a decade learning, playing and performing different styles of traditional American folk music, mostly acoustic blues and Southern fiddle tunes. He toured the country numerous times with acts like The Gallus Brothers, and The Crow Quill Night Owls, collaborating occasionally with elders of the scene and even being inducted into the Jug Band Hall Of Fame (yes that exists). His personal songwriting was always percolating inn the background, making sporadic appearances at house shows and the like. With The Sons of Rainier, Champlin found a loving home for many of these songs where they could be nurtured by the hands and voices of his compadres. The arrangements rest on the foundation of Devin’s songwriting, and is brought forth with warm tube amps, Dean’s unpredictable, weeping guitar lines, a loosely tuned snare, upright bass, and close three-part harmonies. It is 45 rpm folk music that is sweet and haunting. It’s a polaroid of a stolen slow dance.
