Born and raised just east of the Mississippi, Ray played his first gigs
in clubs
overlooked by the St.Louis arch. After migrating to the Denver area, he gigged
with the underground rockin' blues band "The Trashhawks". Ray's
original expeditions include the progressive rock band "Alien Chrome",
and the powerhouse trio "Yield". (the latter founded with Kelly
Ireland respectively). Gigging highlights include opening shows for Robin Trower,
and the Samples.
