The members of Racoon were friends in high school. The guitarist used to fall asleep with a tapeplaying as a teenager. The bassist was encouraged to play by his brother. Racoon began playing at Runt, a college bar. The band used to practice at the drummer's house.

The band recently completed their latest release, but they are planning the next release already. The new record from Racoon has been heavily influenced by artists of the 1960s.

Racoon were convinced their hard work had paid off after their first single rose to the top of the charts. The band plays plenty of arenas, but would rather perform in the smaller clubs in which they started. A member of Racoon started dating a girl whose momwas a record executive. She passed the single on to them and the band signed a record deal soon after. The group regularly played at Coward before making it to the big time.

Albany has always been a haven for the band, so they are sure to schedule a concert there every time they tour. Racoon seamlessly blends the songs from the previous project with tracks from their most current release. Racoon’s tickets for their latest tour are available on TheSeats.com, along with the complete concert schedule and seating charts.
