The duo of Brad Shafer and Joe Felice (Ian Cole & Jacques Raynes) met in a cover band "The Colerain Power Company". They still play their roles lead guitarist and lead singer/bass player in that rockin' electric Classic Rock cover band. However, the team decided to branch out and do some acoustic music stripped down from the heavier format and allow themselves room to improvise and add original music to the sets. After establishing themselves, they met an interesting hand percussionist, Bill Robles (Billfish). He is a stylish and unique solo artist that shares similar tastes in music, but brings a unique perspective to the trio which developed a full band sound without the full band volume. Guitar, upright bass and percussion plus three part harmonies. After the trio was formed, original material from Billfish was added as well as his percussion, guitar and vocal talents. Our Cole Raynes Trio can play a room as quiet as an Applebee's and still give an exciting show or play a rocking Biker Rally outdoors and play over the thunder of choppers and 'Get Your Motor Runnin'! We have the various pro PA equipment to do the work too.
