Ray Fuller and the Bluesrockers Biography
The Ray Fuller Band was formed in 1974, evolving into Ray Fuller and the
Bluesrockers in 1978, releasing a self-titled album on vinyl, and Fuller has
not looked back since. Mastering his craft throughout the ’80s and ’90s,
Fuller was quick to become the “go to” act throughout Ohio to
open for iconic blues musicians such as Muddy Waters, John
Lee Hooker, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Buddy Guy and more.
MUDDY WATERS after witnessing an opening act
performance by Fuller exclaimed for all to hear,
“That was some hot slide boy, I could smell the
smoke backstage!”
JOHN LEE HOOKER was so impressed that he took
Ray Fuller as his special guest at his next show!
Fuller released Something Shakin’ in 1984 and Damn Guitars in 1989,
which was quick to become a top seller for Rounder Records, followed
by Ray Fuller and the Bluesrockers Live in 1992.
In 1995, touring paused with the demise of Fuller’s first marriage which
ended in true blues fashion. Fuller went on to release Pearlene in 1997,
Twist of Fate in 1999, and in 2003 Live Rockin’ the Blues.
In 2010, Fuller played his first overseas show at the Vodacom Ampitheatre
in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, and began focusing on his passion for slide
guitar, playing in his own style which has been compared to and inspired
by Elmore James, Hound Dog Taylor and even Earl Hooker (cousin of John
Lee Hooker). Fuller found himself in demand with renewed focus on his unique
style of “Rockin’ Slide Guitar Blues,” playing major blues festivals in the USA,
Canada and Europe. In 2011, Fuller released Piece of Work on the Azuretone
Record Label.
In 2014 Fuller had the rare honor of recording Ray Fuller and the Bluesrockers
LIVE at Buddy Guy’s Legends. In 2014 and 2016 Fuller crisscrossed Europe, with
audiences demanding as many as five encores!
In 2016, Fuller released Long Black Train in Europe a month early to coincide
with his Europe Tour; its official release was in October 2016.
Ray Fuller and the Bluesrockers’ latest release, PAY THE PRICE on Azuretone
Records. Pay The Price has been called the
crown jewel of Fuller’s 40-year career. World wide reviews have
called it “outstanding,” praising Fuller’s seasoned, clear vocals and tight
rhythm section while, as American Blues Scene put it “leaving listeners
both breathless and thirsty for more!”
