We are excited to announce that “New Frontier” is now available for Pre Order     Order yours today.

Here’s a little bit about it…

Reinvention?  Hardly.  Missy Raines’ compass has always been set to explore boundaries and push limits. It’s in her nature.
With this, Missy’s 1st all vocal album, “New Frontier” is a natural evolution that reflects the intimate and sometimes grueling process of expression. Of how the lines of one’s art and one’s life are often hopelessly tangled, blurred, and imperfect. Yet reminds us that simply by showing up we are rendered free and open, open to all that touches us.

Produced by Missy Raines, Ethan Ballinger, and Ben Surratt, this is a collaborative work which features The New Hip, Ethan Ballinger, Jarrod Walker and Josh Fox throughout. Sam Bush guests on mandolin, slide mandolin and vocals on the appropriately rockin’ “What’s the Calling For” and Zach Bevill (the Farewell Drifters) sings with Missy on his own song “New Frontier” as well as on “Where You Found Me”, a haunting plea of a song co-written with Missy, to leave the past where it is.

“Boundlessness in Bloom”, by Duy Huynh, the cover painting, helps convey the theme of longing, hope, and a sense of freedom to pursue your dreams.

New Frontier will be released at a date TBA in 2013.
