Ray Montford

Like the human condition and the incredible beauty of nature, Ray Montford’s melodic original tunes are fuelled by a wild and raw beauty, inspiring haunting sonic canvasses that are equally rich in imagery, as they are powerful. With his fingerstyle technique, his compositions defy categorization and blend various forms and styles, including folk, rock, jazz, blues, country, world and roots. Incorporating a textured sound all his own and sense of economy in phrasing, Ray is a soulful player who lets his instrument sing, wringing emotion from every note. In the end, it's all about conveying an emotion and taking the listener away.
