Little Ray & The Blue Sonics

about

There are guitarists that play the blues and then there are blues guitarists. It’s a distinction that is not only audible, it is felt. Little Ray’s playing just flat has that feeling and he lets his guitar do all his talking. This talented Blues Guitarist/Songwriter - stirs up a musical Gumbo of Texas/Louisiana Blues-Swamp Pop-Rock-Soul that will make you want to listen over and over. Little Ray, is a native of Oak Cliff, Texas (same breeding ground as Stevie and Jimmy Vaughn). Born in 1967, he started playing music at the age of 10...as a drummer in the school band. At the age of 11 he was in his first professional group "Axis" playing parties and school dances.

He also did some jamming with Anson Funderburg (a big influence on his style) and other area bluesmen.
