Hot off recent appearances with the Allman Betts Family Revival at The Fillmore and Melvin Seals’ JGB at The Guild Theater, 17-year-old guitar sensation Bella Rayne is bringing her Grateful Dead/JGB tribute show, “Looks Like Rayne,” to Felton Music Hall on Saturday, January 18. Audiences can expect an unforgettable evening with a star-studded lineup of Nate LaPointe (Cubensis), Sunshine Garcia Becker (Furthur), Alex Jordan (Phil Lesh), Danny Luerhing, Tim Baker, and special guests. The UC Berkeley-based jam band Moonbloom will open the night with their own vibrant performance.
A self-taught musician from Mendocino, Bella Rayne has swiftly made a name for herself by showcasing her unique blend of Grateful Dead–inspired jams, ’70s psychedelic rock, Southern rock, and ’90s grunge. Already, she has performed with notable acts such as the Allman Betts Family Revival, Melvin Seals & JGB, ALO, Jackie Greene, Oteil Burbridge, and members of Terrapin Family. Bella has also been featured in Guitar World, earned sponsorships from Fender and Ernie Ball, and made her mark with an appearance at Oracle Park for the SF Giants’ Grateful Dead Appreciation Night.
In addition to her electrifying stage presence, Bella is dedicated to encouraging the next generation of musicians. Through her collaboration with Grateful Guitars Foundation, she actively participates in promoting music education in schools and hopes to inspire other young players—especially female musicians—to follow their dreams.
