Absolutely wonderful!

I would hire Dalton again (whenever I get the chance). I may even plan a party just so I can!!
The music was so perfect for the reception, and just having live music in the background took the reception up a notch for sure.

He was so adaptable to some songs or artists that I wanted and he was so nice and easy going.
Dalton was a very good communicator early on, showed up early to set up, his set up was really noice and he just started singing in playing.
I was so busy at the reception, I didnt get to thank him enough, but everybody loved it.

Now I want to just and just watch and enjoy him play somewhere else!!

Thank you Dalton, you were so appreciated!

Dalton was amazing to work with.

Dalton was so easy to work with. He is such a kind and generous man. I am so glad he was a part of our wedding celebration. I cannot say enough good things about him. He truly loves music and being a blessing to people. I can't remember the last time I met someone with as good of heart and as good of a person. Thank you 🙏

Fantastic Bluegrass Band – Talented, Flexible, and Crowd-Ple

We had this band play at our backyard summer party for about 55 guests and they were absolutely awesome! They worked with us ahead of time to pick songs from their set list and even learned 10–15 additional songs we requested. They played everything but one (not surprisingly, Beyoncé’s Texas Hold ’Em was a stretch!) and delivered it all beautifully. The crowd loved them—so many friends commented on how talented they were and how perfectly the volume was set so you could enjoy the music and still mingle. They were easy to work with, stayed an extra 30 minutes when we asked, and made the night so special. Five stars for sure!

The band was incredible!

We had such a a great event because of Dalton and his ten saw crew! We had a few people asking to book them in the future they were so good. The band was very accommodating to our requests and made our event an event to remember.

Country Soul

Dalton was excellent throughout the entire booking process and after. Fantastic communication, even checking in the day prior to the show. We hired him for a happy hour at a senior living community. He arrived early to set up, engaged with the audience, and showed genuine appreciation to be with us, even taking time to speak with the residents after his show ended. He welcomes feedback. Dalton is open to taking requests if you give him time to prepare his set. He has a beautiful voice and incredible guitar playing talent. Highly recommend for heartfelt, soulful country music. We would be happy to have him back with us.

What to expect

With a vast library of both cover and original songs, and a large community of pro musical collaborators, I can customize any set list to meet your event's needs. From solo acoustic and vocals, blues, country, jam or rock band performances. Let me know what you are looking for, and I can leverage my community of incredible musicians to give you the performance you are looking for.
I currently play bass and guitar and sing both lead and harmonies in a number of local bands including Ten Saw, Blue Skies, Salamander Junction, and an old time band named Runs with Scissors. From kids birthday parties, wedding receptions, to corporate events, or party entertainment...just let me know.

About

A PNW native, Dalton Rayne has played in multiple rock, blues, grunge, alternative/indie, old time, bluegrass, funk and soul bands around Washington, Idaho and Oregon since the late 80s and on and off for the past 8 years in Stockholm Sweden. Since March of 2020, Dalton has been focusing on multiple global online music collaboration projects and has published and released multiple singles and full albums with Burning Orchids, JustVera, MBD to name a few with several others in the works.

As a singer/songwriter, Dalton takes inspiration from legends such as Allison Krauss, Stephen Stills, Patty Griffin, Ray LaMontagne, Zac Brown Band, Robert Plant, The Wood Brothers, Reeltime Travelers just to name a few.

Dalton's original music explores love lost, broken dreams, battles with demons, mindless murder, selfish greed, chilling impacts of war and general intrigue. To quote Dalton: “My audiences tend to leave realizing their lives are actually pretty good.”

Additional booking notes

For all venues and group sizes I have various pro PA systems to choose from. For solo and small venue string band performances I use an EV column array system. For larger groups and venues I have an Allen & Heath 20 channel digital mixer, 15" powered speakers and 12" powered monitors.
The PA equipment and engineering is included in my price.
I also offer recording of the event performance at no additional cost and can even offer full engineering, mastering and publishing to all streaming services for a small additional fee and agreement that you will get an equal share of any streaming revenue generated from the published songs.
