Rains (band)

History

Hailing from a small town in northern Indiana (U.S.A.), RAINS features Jeff Schultz. Past members include Joe Schultz on drums, Matt Hopkins on bass, and Jason Anderson on guitar.

Stories, the debut album from RAINS, was preceded by the singles, "Liar" and "Look In My Eyes". The first single, "Liar", was a Top 15 hit on SiriusXM Octane, with the follow-up singles “Look In My Eyes” and “Pressure” hitting #3 and #1 on SiriusXM Octane and charted in the top 30 on Active Rock Radio. The album has garnered over 20 million streams on Spotify, as well as millions of streams and views on platforms such as YouTube and iTunes.

After 8 years of constant touring with bands such as Five Finger Death Punch and Black Stone Cherry as well as numerous headlining tours, Rains decided to take some time off to focus on his daughter and his tattoo company, as well as begin the writing process for his new album. In 2018, Schultz's tattoo shop in Fort Wayne, Indiana, was raided for operating without a license. Schultz was also arrested on drug possession charges.

Since starting the project at age 15 Rains has been committed to staying an independent artist throughout his career and has stuck to that philosophy with his latest release N.F.D.M.

Rains began recording his new album N.F.D.M at House Of Blues Studios in Nashville TN in March 2019 and released the first single “Ghost” on December 6, 2019. Rains is a multi-instrumentalist.
