Biography

Harmony vocal trio Carolina Rain consists of Rhean Boyer (guitar), Jeremy Baxter (mandolin), and Marvin Evatt (banjo, guitar). Boyer (who grew up in Virginia Beach) and Evatt (whose background was in musical theater) met at Belmont University in Nashville while both were working as campus security guards. Quickly becoming friends, the pair ended up writing songs in their squad car during down time. Boyer had known Baxter, a Tennessee native, since 1999, when the two of them sang in the same church choir. Baxter was invited to jam with Boyer and Evatt, and it was obvious from the first that the trio was something special. Named after the first song they wrote together, Carolina Rain came to the attention of Clint Black's fledgling Equity Music Group label, and the trio became the label's first official signing. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide

Carolina Rain is an American country music group composed of Jeremy Baxter (tenor vocals, mandolin), Rhean Boyer (lead vocals, guitar), and Marvin Evatt (baritone vocals, guitar, banjo). Founded in 2003, the band was signed in 2004 as the first act on Equity Music Group, an independent record label owned by country music artist Clint Black. Carolina Rain has released one studio album (2006's Weather the Storm) and has charted five singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. A second album, American Radio, was slated for an early 2009 release, but was never issued due to the closure of Equity.

Music career

Weather the Storm

In 2004, Carolina Rain signed to Equity Music Group, a label formed by Clint Black. The band was the first act signed to the label besides Black himself.[1] Carolina Rain released its debut single, "I Ain't Scared", which reached #41 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Following it were two additional singles, "Louisiana Love", and "Let's Get It On". "Louisiana Love" failed to chart, and "Let's Get It On" reached #57. However, those songs were never included on an album. Then in 2006, the group released "Get Outta My Way". Co-written by Robert Ellis Orrall and Curtis Wright, this song became their first Top 40 country hit, peaking at #28. After its release came their debut album Weather the Storm,[1] which also included "I Ain't Scared". After "Get Outta My Way" came their highest-charting single in the #26 "Isn't She", followed by the non-charting "Dealin'".

American Radio

In late 2008, the group released a new single titled "American Radio". The single intended to be the lead-off to a second studio album of the same name. The song reached #53 on the country charts a few weeks after its release. A second single from the album, "Weight of the World" was released, however, before the song was officially released, Equity closed in December 2008. Therefore, the groups second album was canceled.
