In the summer of 2006, Trevor Tillery packed up his bags and left his hometown of Phoenix for Seattle. It was during the quiet and creative Seattle nights that he first felt inspired to write down the songs in his head. "I felt like I had these songs in me for years and they all burst out of me at once because I had been holding them in for so long," says Tillery.

Tillery soon brought his songs back to Phoenix and started Raining and OK with friends Nick DuPlessis (drums), Stephen Spears (bass), and Austin Tingle (guitar). The group released their debut album THE DEVIL ON YOUR SHOULDER in September 2007. After spending time on the road and building their fanbase, Raining and OK recorded their follow-up EP entitled ALWAYS WILL BE with producer Matt Grabe (The Maine) and co-producer Dan Young of This Providence. The EP was released in March 2009 to glowing reviews. Tillery explains, "We strive to write songs that are refreshing and original, and can be sung from the rafters."
