Brothers, Steve and Craig Cole started the band with only both of them as members.  A love of music led them to learn their instruments and begin song writing.  Rainy Day People was born!  A drummer added later, RDP began playing their first gigs.  Since those humble beginnings, the band has grown to 5 members;  Andrew Collins on lead guitar, Craig Cole doing rhythm guitar and vocals, Rod Miles singing and also playing mandolin and sax, Steve Cole managing vocals and bass, and Chris Gamberg as the band's stickman.  The guys are very devoted to both God and the band, and feel very much that it is an amazing thing to do God's work, to follow God's Calling, and to do something they love.

Each member of RDP lends an individual taste in music that combines to form a completely unique sound.  It is difficult to describe their music by assigning a particular style.  The best that can be done is: a not too alternative, somewhat bluesy, hard, driving sound.  Rhythmically strong bass and drums drive the band.  Solid rhythm guitar is played under smooth, trance-like lead guitar and harmonic vocals with catchy melodies make up RDP's sound.

A common place to see Rainy Day People play is the Upper Room, located at the Corner Stone assembly in the heart of downtown, St. John's.  Along with these performances, they have played at many different churchs throughout Newfoundland.  RDP have also played at camps such as Circle Square Ranch, and festivals such as the Salmon Festival in Grand Falls-Windsor, and the Peace-A-Chord in St. John's.  The Salmon Festival was a very memorable gig; it is not often that a band has the oppertunity to be followed by Christian rock legends, Petra.

Rainy Day People have recorded one album, The Cross, which was the band's first recording project.  The cassette, though it does not capture the band's sound today, has sold many copies and is continuing to sell today.  The Cross featured 10 original songs from early Rainy Day People.  Other recording projects have included a 3-song demo, as well as the much-anticipated, soon to be released independant CD:  An Endless Display (see more about the up-comming CD in the News Section).

In media circles, RDP have had airplay on St. John's local Christian radio station VOAR, which has also featured a one-hour special on the band.  The Newfoundland Herald, an entertainment magazine, featured Rainy Day People in a full page article, giving them a great review.
