Connecticut Country Cover Band
The
Rakes
Raw strings. Shared roar. The songs you forgot you loved, played like we mean it. We bring the honky-tonk to every dive, barn, and backroad bar in Connecticut.

Who We Are
Industrial Heartland
Five players from the backroads of Connecticut who bonded over scratched vinyl and blown tube amps. We cover the country canon — Cash to Combs, Haggard to Hardy — with the grit of a Saturday night and the precision of a touring act.
No two shows are the same. You pick the wildcard cover, we sweat the strings. That's the deal.
