Raymond W. McLain’s future resonated in his ears as he ran his fingers across his daddy’s guitar strings when he was 4 years old. His talent grew up as he did, rooted in a deep love of family and home. Raymond’s music has both roots and wings, because it echoes the spirit of the hills he came from and carries sophistication gathered along the way. Well-traveled and always well-received, Raymond’s musicianship was honed in a life on stage and on the road. He has entertained thousands in a remarkable career that spans 40+ years with performances in more than 70 countries and every U.S. State. Raymond’s music has an inexplicable natural flow and connectivity, as it runs through his veins.

Ingrained in him is an innate sensitivity that allows him to tune-in to exactly what a song or an audience needs. He carries his father’s collaborative spirit. Embodying this he delivers a powerful stage presence as part of a band or as a soloist. Raymond’s musicality manifests itself in many ways. He translates this musical spirit as an entertainer using instruments, (fiddle, banjo, guitar, mandolin and bass), his voice, and as a songwriter.

Raymond’s sterling reputation is widely recognized. He performed with his family, The McLain Family Band as a musical ambassador for the U.S. Department of State and played music from the stage of the world famous Grand Ole Opry more than a thousand times with Opry members Jim and Jesse. He entertains with contagious enthusiasm and original style playing bluegrass, old-time, folk and country music.

“His fiddling is simply incredible, a whirlwind of spirit and motion that can fill any hall.”
– Richmond News Leader

“Talented and musically imaginative…A joyous celebration of Americana.”

Performer, Innovator, Composer, Keynote Speaker

Mike Stevens’ talent is as unorthodox as his career trajectory. As an Innovative, groundbreaking Performer, Composer, Educator, Keynote Speaker and Author Mike Stevens continues to expand the paradigms of Harmonica, balancing tradition with cutting edge innovation. Mike has toured the world with legendary Bluegrass music stars and Grand Ole Opry members Jim & Jesse. He can count among his fans Roy Acuff, - the King of country music. Roy would in fact make special trips to the Opry stage just to watch Mike play. Mike has logged more than 300 appearances on the world famous Grand Ole Opry stage and is a true pioneer of Bluegrass Harmonica; creating a much copied style of playing.

When Mike performs, the Harmonica becomes a musical paintbrush with no limits. "He literally Breathes In the World and Breathes out Music." For reviews of Mike's CD's visit Mike's Store and Mike's Fan Page. Mike is also the founder of Artscan Circle a non-profit organization dedicated to helping youth in remote communities across Canada.
