Jared Rabin

“A remarkable multi-instrumentalist...” - American Songwriter. Both of Jared Rabin's past two albums have premiered in the Top 5 on the Folk Alliance Radio charts, with "CHASING THE LIGHT" reaching #3. Bluegrass Today said, "Chasing The Light is, as its title implies, an illuminating effort, and one that ought to elevate Rabin to the higher pantheons inhabited by those that are bringing bluegrass to the mainstream audience it so decidedly deserves. And it’s that undeniable appeal that becomes ever more apparent throughout."
