Carolina Rain was a country music ensemble from the United States, comprising Jeremy Baxter (mandolin, tenor vocals), Rhean Boyer (guitar, lead vocals), and Marvin Evatt (guitar, banjo, baritone vocals). Established in 2003, they became the inaugural signing in 2004 to Equity Music Group, an independent label owned by country musician Clint Black. The group produced one studio album titled Weather the Storm in 2006 and placed five singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. Two further singles were released in 2008 prior to the closure of Equity. In April 2019, Marvin Evatt debuted his solo EP Songs from the Boat.
Weather the Storm
Carolina Rain joined Equity Music Group in 2004, a label established by Clint Black, becoming its first signed act aside from Black himself. Their initial single, "I Ain't Scared," climbed to No. 41 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs rankings. Following releases "Louisiana Love" and "Let's Get It On" peaked at No. 57 and failed to chart respectively; neither track was included on an album. In 2006, "Get Outta My Way," co-written by Robert Ellis Orrall and Curtis Wright, marked their first Top 40 success, reaching No. 28. This was succeeded by their debut album Weather the Storm, which featured "I Ain't Scared." The next single, "Isn't She," achieved their highest chart position at No. 26, while "Dealin'" did not enter the charts.
American Radio
Towards the end of 2008, Carolina Rain released "American Radio," intended as the lead single for their forthcoming second studio album sharing the same title. The song attained a peak position of No. 53 on country charts soon after its release. Another single, "Weight of the World," followed before Equity Music Group ceased operations in December 2008.
