About this performance

Raynes with: David Wimbish & The Collection ------

British-American trio Raynes formed when Mat CharleyandJoe Berger, both born and raised in North Dakota, came across a video of UK nativeMark Raceon Instagram and fell in love—first with his face, then with his voice. After a few messages and phone calls, Mark was on a plane to the US to start a band (a few months later, he had the flight number tattooed on his arm).Since then, Raynes has signed withSony Music Publishingand released six singles andfourEPs, drawing hundreds of thousands of monthly listeners and tens of millions of streams and earning press in Billboard and People. They’ve performed at BottleRock Festival and in clubs, concert halls, and amphitheaters across the US and the UK, developing a reputation as a high-energy live act.In 2025, Raynes’ rendition of “I Want You to Want Me” was featured in an episode of Love Is Blind on Netflix.Known for their intricate vocal harmonies and unique instrumentation as well as their poetic lyrics, Raynes has yet to come up witha good answer as to what genre their music falls under. With all three members coming from different musical backgrounds, the boys combine their diverse influences to form a group that draws inspiration from around the globe, incorporating elements of folk, rock, and chamber pop with Celtic and world music to create a wholly original—and difficult to categorize—sound.
