ROBYNN RAGLAND

Robynn Ragland is a singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist from the St. Louis, MO area, whose success in that region has already become something of a local phenomenon. Her catchy pop-rock single People You Know became a solid radio favorite despite her unsigned local artist status. Her independent debut release, "Modern American Female Gut" quickly became and remains the #1 album in Missouri and St. Louis on the Amazon.com Best Sellers List. Either solo or with her 4-piece rock band, Robynn has won opening slots for artists such as The Jayhawks, Pat Benetar, Dido, Sixpence None The Richer, Juliana Hatfield, The Bare Naked Ladies, Edwin McCain, and many others. She has been the coveted local opener for tours such as The Capitol Record's Girls' Room Tour 2000, and the Lilith Fair Tour 1998.

Robynn is the sole writer and a co-producer of all of her material, an accomplished player and true innovator on the acoustic guitar, as well as a skilled classical pianist. Robynn's songwriting spans the range from intimate ballad to modern rock original with consistent poignancy, humor, and depth that has the power to resonate deeply. [www.robynnragland.com]
