The
Rafters are an acoustic-pop-married
duo (Dave and Miki) who formed in the Merrimac Valley of MA during
the summer of 2006. It was long after they met they decided to play
music together: meet in college, date for 7 years, get married (11
years and going...), buy a house, have kids, start a band, have
more kids...
The
Rafters music is focused on melody and lyrics over a blend of pop/folk
influences. The songs are snap shots into their lives and the people
close to them. Themes can range from fears for a brother going off
to war, dealing with a loved ones difficult medical news, to learning
the beauty of a growing family. Running through and tying the music
together are the threads of hope.
