WAGONHOUND
A COLLECTIVE OF MODERN WESTERN MUSICIANS
Who we are:
Wagonhound Productions, LLC was founded in 2024 by musicians, Raina Wallace & Spencer Porden. Our goal is to promote new & authentic music made by upcoming artists from the Rocky Mountain Region.
Wagonhound serves as a catalyst for musicians, to help them tell their stories. We offer tour planning, booking assistance, recording services, social media management, and more. Wagonhound also produces an annual music festival based in Sheridan, WY known as the “Wyoming Music & Art Summit,” (formerly the Antelope Butte Music & Art Summit) which promotes visual art & music from across the Cowboy State.
“We do this not because it’s easy, but because we thought it would be easy.”
Raina Wallace
Co-FOUNDER
Hailing from Montana’s Paradise Valley, Raina "Lawless" Wallace crafts a unique blend of Americana, bluegrass, classic country, and rock in her songwriting. The self-proclaimed “bass-cowgirl” splits her time between her solo project and the Fort Worth, TX-based band The Lowdown Drifters as their bassist. Wallace’s vocal and songwriting style pays homage to her influences, such as Dolly Parton, Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris, and The Clash. Wallace has appeared on records with Della Rose and Brennan Scott Greene and has co-written songs with The Lowdown Drifters.
In 2024 she co-founded Wagonhound Productions with her husband, Spencer.
