"We wear our rainbow sparkles on the inside," singer-guitarist Raffa Harris proclaims on her band's MySpace page. The sparkles may be hidden, but this acoustic-folk duo lets light shine throughout the flower-child-like music that it whimsically describes as "sweet la-la." The group's vintage sound urges a close listen, and it's easy to imagine the faint crackling of an old phonograph player behind Harris' silky vocals. Last year, after a successful run on the road with fellow Miami-based folk-rocker Jesse Jackson, Harris and Rainer Davies independently released their debut album, Stolen Coal. The CD can be purchased at Sweat Records (see Best Record Store), located inside Churchill's Pub in Miami, where the group often performs.
