Honolulu, HI, USA

Ragamuffs initially started as a duo which later transitioned into a solo act currently made up of Hailey Finesse. Hailey Fines and Joseph Carag met as little kiddos, both having different musical backgrounds. Over the years, family functions got them to perform acoustic sets together. Realizing their overlap in peculiar musical influences, they were driven to break exposure into the Honolulu music scene, playing feel-good indie rock/bedroom pop. It wasn’t until late 2017 when their musical trek began to find momentum, playing shows each month as a 4-piece band and writing original songs. By the summer of 2019, a successful Kickstarter funded their debut 7 song EP, "Achy Luminescence." Just before the release, they went on their first DIY tour in California playing venues such as Hotel Cafe and The Moroccan Lounge! In early 2020, they opened for a sold out Mac DeMarco concert and The Unlikely Candidates at The Republik and were also 1 of 3 Hawai'i musicians selected as SXS
