Joining Missy are young lions Michael Witcher, Megan McCormick, Ethan Ballinger and Lee Holland. These players have the chops to travel the challenging territory Missy maps out like it’s a walk in the park. Missy Raines and the New Hip have been in the studio recording their first CD. Look for an EP release early this spring and an album by the end of the year. What's the source of the New Hip sound?

They got together and jammed and it was a whole new kind of music, it was very cool... And then I woke up and knew what I had to do...." |
