Coming from different parts of the United States with diverse musical influences, the six members of Raisin’ Cain each moved to Nashville to pursue their individual musical talents. The band includes: Clint Chandler (lead guitar, vocals) from Texas, Steve Stokes (violin, mandolin, vocals) from Pennsylvania, Adam Ricker (lead vocals, acoustic) from Ohio, Jay Gorman (bass guitar) from Ohio, Gregg Lohman (drums) from Illinois, and Mark Burch (keyboards) from Texas.
In 2002, the band formed with each member bringing his own style, influences, and years of professional playing experience that created a fresh, unique sound. Raisin’ Cain takes pride in being a “true” band, as they write, arrange, perform, and record their own material – a rarity in country music.

I have a new tune on my other myspace called 'Jazzy Blue' ~
This is the first time I've gotten to record within my brand spanking new ~ totally optimized Ashram / Asylum ~ & I must say with this updated digital recording facility & some new axes to grind ~ it is truly a luxury at it's finest ~ at least it is for me me me !!!!! So here it is ~ just a rhythm track I'd made over the last couple of days ~ in order to acclimate myself with all the new toys I now have at my disposal . . . I'll be writing lots of new lyrics as well as new music ~ for both of my upcoming projects ~ the follow-up to my debut CD now available on Moiko Records ~ it's a new concept album I've been (Ben) working on for over a year & a half ~ as well as the awesome new version of The Altruistic Messiah's latest touring band ~ a line up consisting of life long friends & a few of the most amazingly talented new individuals I have just recently had the honor to become associated with ! I am always wishing each & every one of you the very best ~ & this continues to be the primary focus of any & all communication between us as individuals ~ it is my belief that this concern is fundamental in the advancement of humanity ~ & that this is the reason we are alive ~ that this is what we are living for ~ as human nature must transcend into something greater than it ever has been (Ben) ~ as every single one of us collectively evolve into everything we are destined to realize ~ & we must leave no man or woman behind ~ STOP WAR ~ I know I go way off the beat & path often ~ but I love everyone !!!!!! Peace, Ben P.S. PLease don't forget to attend my CD Release Party at the Rainbow Bar & Grill on the Sunset Strip ~ It starts at 3:00 P.M. November 1st & of course YOU ARE INVITED !
