Michelle Raybourn

Michelle Raybourn is an Americana/Bluegrass singer-songwriter originally from Dallas, TX who has made her home in Nashville, Tennessee since graduating from Belmont University in 2023. During her time at college, she was a member of the Bluegrass Ensemble for 3 years and traveled around the country performing standards and her own originals with this talented group of performers, which proudly boasts alumni in bands such as the Arcadian Wild, Downriver Collective, and Zach & Maggie. Additionally, while at Belmont, she began attending Reformed University Fellowship and began leading worship there on Tuesday nights, which led her into her current vocation at City Church of East Nashville as their Worship Director. As well as beginning church work, her voice has joined with those who have gone before her in Indelible Grace. Most recently, she was a featured vocalist on their live record “Bright Hope for Tomorrow” that celebrated the 50th anniversary of RUF in Memphis, Tennessee in 2023. In her upcoming release on November 22nd, “Natural Disaster”, Michelle is expectant to bring her worlds together of family, faith, and folk music, exploring the landscape of womanhood, making sense of the harm that has been handed down, and finding healing for the wounds of being a human in the world. She hopes that these songs can be a gift to those who listen to her words, as they have been to her in getting to sit with and write.
