    Colorado Culture Cast presents The Smokebrush Sessions. Here's your chance to be part of a live television taping of two of Colorado's most exciting musical song bands for future broadcast on Colorado Public Television.

    Ashley Raines grew up in the Midwest and began running away from home almost as early as he could walk. By the age of fourteen, he was hitchhiking from his home in Kansas to Oklahoma City. He hopped boxcars and squeezed out a small living by publishing his poetry in college literary magazines. He taught himself any instrument he could get his hands on, recorded his songs on four-track reel-to-reel machines, which he sold while performing on the street and occasionally picked up work as a farm hand. In 1997 Raines, who had then only given his music on street corners and during coffee shop open mics, signed to Howlin' Dog Records.

    Hailing from the Rocky Mountain town of Pueblo, Colorado, The Haunted Windchimes took form through the ghost towns of the mind, where the music is of the haunting kind. "Soft-spoken, polite and genuine nearly to a fault, the Windchimes spent the majority of last summer traveling from coast to coast, from street corners, record stores and coffeehouses to house parties, taverns and abandoned grocery stores, drifting wherever their road-worn and restless souls [tell] them to go," writes Adam Leech from his Reverb music column which appears in the Colorado Springs Independent.
