MIGHTY REA is an effervescent folk-forward acoustic trio, based out of Boston MA. Members Rosa Joe Jacobs, Emma Turoff, and Annie McDougall all came from different backgrounds, but bonded in their appreciation of the power of musical storytelling and simplicity. With fiddle, guitar, and mandolin at the heart of their sound, MIGHTY REA crafts original tunes that feel both familiar and new, drawing from the rich heritage of Americana, old-time, and folk traditions while weaving in a playful, contemporary flair. Their warm, flowing melodies invite listeners to slow down, dance, and savor the beauty of the everyday.
