Rena Guinn has a unique sound that is all her own. It’s rooted in the rolling hills of New York where she was born and raised. She grew up listening to old 1950’s rock and roll, doo-wop, blues, soul, psychedelia, old-style country, folk and more. Her father was a musician, singer and songwriter and raised her to be an avid listener and connoisseur of real music.
She started weaving her own songs in her teens and began truly walking her musical path in her later twenties. In 2021, she released her debut album, titled Shine. This collection of work includes 5 original songs. Mixing sounds of country, folk, blues and Americana, all running through the same vein of Rena’s unique, sultry vocals and her honest lyrics. This album was produced by Bill Ring and recorded by Chris Ploss at Sunwood Recording in Trumansburg NY. Artist’s who appear on this album include: Doug Henrie, Aaron Lipp, Eric Aceto, Liam Lawson, Zane Seubert, Sam Schmidt, Cap Cooke, Chris Ploss, and Alyssa Duerksen.
Rena Guinn performs locally in the finger lakes region of New York. She currently resides in her little cabin she built, writing songs and working on her next album. She is once again working with her producer and musical mentor, Bill Ring, and many talented musicians to bring forth her full length album, ‘Is This Now?’.
