RAINA SOKOLOV-GONZALEZ
Vocal, keysThurs 24 Feb
A few months ago when I discovered Raina's debut album "If They're Mine", it played on repeat for about a week. I was loving her jazzy/R&B sound and soulful, sassy vocal. Based in New York, I wondered if she might be performing in London anytime soon...
Lo and behold she had a couple of shows scheduled in February and next thing you know - we've added a date at the Wet Fish! How very lucky we are.
Hailing from Brooklyn, Raina was born into a family of musicians. Music runs deep within her veins. She's making waves on the New York music scene, packing prestigious venues such as Brooklyn Bowl and Rockwood Music Hall... Come and see why!
"Raina brings both style and grace to haunting originals as well as classics, unifying our diverse audience at Mohonk" – Festival of the Arts, Mohonk
