The Rakish Angles common influences include Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, Bela Fleck, and fellow Canadians The Creaking Tree String Quartet and Jayme Stone.

The quartet has been nominated for numerous prestigeous awards and are beginning to garner Nation-wide attention and airplay and have even had music used for film.
