Daisi Rain

Daisi Rain is an East Tennessee/Southwest Virginia based country band that has passion and youth on their side. Brothers, Cameron and Donovan Brown started the band in 2004. Isaac Asimov once said, "I write for the same reason I breathe - because if I didn't, I would die." That's how Daisi Rain feels about playing music. The band members range in age from 15-19 and this coupled with their infectious personalities give them an edge many bands simply can't formulate.

Cameron Brown, the oldest of the five, and the only guitarist of the band, takes lead and rhythm guitar duties. The band depends on his ability to transcribe instruments. His many influences range from Jimmy Page to Keith Urban. Playing since the age of 12, Cameron strives for excellence in sound and diversity.

Amelia Brown is the youngest of the bunch and she takes up the fiddle spot with foot stompin' vitality that brings lots of energy and a special dimension to Daisi Rain's down home flavor. Her sweet harmony adds a special touch. Her top three influences are Alison Krauss, Jimmy De Martini (Zac Brown Band), and Charlie Daniels.

Donovan Brown provides the beat and occasionally plays a little harmonica. He is influenced by John Bonham and Randy Van Patten on drums and Robert Plant and Adam Gussow for harmonica. Donovan also plays piano, works to find the harmonies for songs and works as the bands sound engineer. He has a gift for hearing what others take for granted.

Laken Loupe began her vocal journey at church, at age 9. Upon joining Daisi Rain, Laken broadened her vocal talent. She can sing anything from ballads to raucous rockers and surprises audiences with her power and sustain. Some of her most inspirational singers are Martina McBride, Jennifer Nettles, and Carrie Underwood.

Daisi Rain has had many performances ranging from Fairs, Benefits, and Festivals to the Legendary Knoxville Tennessee Theater. They have opened for Nashville Country Stars,
Ashton Shepherd, Craig Campbell, and Jerrod Niemann. Their set list consist of cover songs ranging from the fifties to current radio hits and a few of their originals,  In February of 2011 they went into the studio to record a three song demo at Dark Horse Studios in Franklin. The experience was the next step in achieving their dreams. Seeing gold and multi-platinum records for the artists they have looked up to and followed for many years has inspired them to be the best they can possibly be. 

As the lead song from their demo confidently touts, "the sky's the limit, I can't wait another minute to fly… I got me some big ole plans...Catch Me If You Can!" So look up, you might see Daisi Rain. You better grab your umbrella!
