Kentucky Rain takes great pride in doing what they love best, keeping the bluegrass tradition alive. Straight out of the foothills of the Appalachian mountains in the bluegrass state itself these four young men strive to let their music be heard all around.

Jonathan Jones was born and raised in Jones Creek, Kentucky where he grew up hearing his grandfather listen to bluegrass legends such as Flatt and Scruggs, Bill Monroe, and The Stanley Brother’s. By the age of six Jones took interest in bluegrass music and began learning how to play the guitar. Around fifteen he was asked to play dobro for The Kentucky 38 Bluegrass Band, although he had never tried to play a dobro it was not long before he took the stage playing as though he had played for years. Around eighteen he felt compelled to learn the banjo, and just as the dobro, it was not long before he was playing the good o’ five string.  A few years after the split of The Kentucky 38 Bluegrass Band, which became known as The New Jones Creek Quartet, Jones set out on his own and began The Kentucky Rain Bluegrass Band in August of 2003.

Dustin Middleton also of Jones Creek grew up loving country music favorites such as Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, and Johnny Horton. At an early age he found himself taking interest in bluegrass music as well. Growing founder of the musical style Middleton became interested in learning the banjo, it was then, around the age of thirteen he began working with Jones learning to play. With a family history rooted deep in musical talent it came as no surprise that Middleton could play. At only fifteen years old Middleton began playing bass for The Kentucky Rain Bluegrass Band in September of 2003. By 2004 Middleton had handed over the bass for lead guitar where he remained throughout the 2004 season. In 2005 Middleton once again felt it was time to expand his abilities and hand over lead guitar for the mandolin, which is where he intends to stay.

Adam Wynn grew up in Cotes, Kentucky where he learned at an early age the basics to playing guitar and bass. Throughout his younger years he took part in music at church. Little did he know at that early age he was opening the door to a fulfilling God given talent. In December of 2003 Wynn was introduced to members of The Kentucky Rain Bluegrass Band. After working with Middleton, Wynn began playing rhythm guitar. By 2004 there was an opening on bass and Jones could sense that Wynn was best for the job. After working with Jones, Wynn stepped out of the guitars shadow and into the spotlight, where he remains today.

Brandon Jones also grew up in Jones Creek, Kentucky where his talents rooted in a quite different genre. Throughout his younger years Jones favored a more alternative style of playing, where he excelled on the electric guitar. Bluegrass never interested him until he began learning the true art of the style. Before long he was learning the complex form of the bluegrass style guitar. In December of 2005 he joined The Kentucky Rain Bluegrass Band taking over lead and rhythm guitar, stepping away from his shyness and on center stage.

Bringing these four young men together on one stage with their rich, deep, country style vocals, warm heart felt harmony and traditional yet unrefined style of playing, has made an impact on audiences both young and old.
