Caylie is who set The McNeill Project musical journey in motion.  God gave her a dream and she threw the whole of her being and her passion behind that dream.    It was her vision for us to start the band.  She began playing the guitar at 14 and hasn’t looked back.  When her musical “self” awakened, it was firmly fixed on Southern Gospel and Bluegrass and expanded from there.   Caylie has become an amazing songwriter, helps run sound and arranges and writes many of the songs on the TMP projects.  She sings lead as well as harmony in the band.  She was married in November of 2022 to Sheldon Raines.  The two became one, and has now become three!  Caylie and Sheldon welcomed baby Carter in August of 2023.  Caylie loves being a mom AND continuing to be a part of the band.
