Rain Garden is a four-piece alt-rock band born and raised in Chicago, IL. It emerged as a solo project in 2018 from the makeshift bedroom studio of vocalist/guitarist Miranda Dianovsky but has evolved over the years as longtime friends Vincent Byas, Harley Reid and Maya Halko joined and adapted the music to be played live. Together the four explore dynamics in every sense of the word; pairing loud with soft, sweetness with abrasiveness, and floating vocals with deep, swirling bodies of sound.
