BIO

Michelle Raybourn is an Americana/Bluegrass singer-songwriter originally from Dallas, TX who has made her home in Nashville, Tennessee since graduating from Belmont University in 2023. During her time at college, she was a member of the Bluegrass Ensemble for three years and traveled around the country performing standards and her own originals with this talented group, which proudly boasts alumni in bands such as the Arcadian Wild, Downriver Collective, and Zach & Maggie. 

In her latest release, Natural Disaster, is joined by Grammy-winning luminaries such as Byron House (Chris Thile, Emmylou Harris, The Chicks), Cody Kilby (Ricky Skaggs, The Travelin' McCourys, Dolly Parton), and Andy Leftwich (Bruce Hornsby, Taylor Swift)  to bring her worlds together – family, faith, and folk music – exploring the landscape of womanhood, making sense of the harm that has been handed down, and finding healing for the wounds of being a human in the world.
