Teni Rane comes back in the studio and performs some songs off of her new album "Goldenrod" Inspired by the stories of everyday life, Teni Rane is a folk-country singer-songwriter with a vintage vocal edge and a knack for capturing ordinary scenes in a way that is at once specific and widely relatable. Comfortable in everything from overalls to full-body sequins, Rane isn’t afraid to explore musical territory and synthesizes vocal and sonic influences into her own brand of country-infused, Americana-folk-pop with a jazzy vocal lean that feels simultaneously familiar and brand new.2024 sees her offer her first full length album to the world. Releasing in early August, listeners will find familiar a few of the tunes that were leading singles for the album in 2023, including the title track, “Goldenrod.” Taking shape at a time in Rane’s life when everything seemed to be up for re-negotiation, the arc of the album focuses on what it means to allow change to influence a life without eradicating the individual. Inspired by the shoulder season “as the summer fades into fall,” each track has a reflective bent that calls attention to the lessons, both cruel and kind, that are learned simply by looking around.Lyrically lead, each track on “Goldenrod” builds on the backbone of Rane’s acoustic guitar. The sonic landscape of the album boldly leans into cinematic, orchestral cello sweeps and gritty electric guitars while maintaining a balanced ability to tap back into intentionally crafted solo cello work and specifically placed acoustic guitar melodies. The body of work displays a strong cohesion of vision as well as an ability to sonically craft for each song’s storyline.“Goldenrod” came to life in Bristol, VA at Classic Recording Studio with GRAMMY nominated Mike Stephenson engineering and co-producing alongside Rane. Album credits include GRAMMY nominees Dave Eggar (cello, piano) and Phil Faconti (acoustic, electric, baritone, classical guitars and ukulele), past collaborator Roger Gustafsson (bass, steel guitar), and Rane’s own partner Jonathan Shumaker (bass).

He went from performing on backyard porches to thousands strong crowds when he was given the opportunity to open for George Strait at age 14. A defining moment came for Steel when his brother took him to see a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert. From that point on his goal has been one thing. Music. Steel grew up in the small town of Erwin Tennessee and came from a very musical family. From rehearsing with his brothers, to performing and recording all over the US. He is a determined and talented man. From New York to Nashville and beyond, his live performances are an experience that will be remembered. With an abundance of onstage charisma, a distinct voice, and an unapologetic passion for his craft, Rusty’s recent music intertwines the classic sound of country music with a rock and roll vocal that is truly unique and enjoyable.
