SF 4 track soul-popster transplanted from N.J.,this collection combines harmony & hook laden power pop with hip-hop, rock and psychedelic soul.
Bio / Background
Singer, songwriter , and 4 track fanatic UNCLE RAY takes his pop clean and clever , and his funk raw and nasty. It confuses even him sometimes.
Armed with a 12 string acoustic and a microphone, he discovered San Francisco,leaving New Jersey for
lack of a better car. Neva Chonin of the SF Bay Guardian called Ray
"...an all around Renaissance kind of guy..." and described
"a recording stuffed with a multiplicity of textures".
He has worked with Art Alexakis (Everclear)Scott Mathews (he stared as Fluke Starbucker in "Hardware Wars", also wrote a song for Barbara Streisand, and has produced John Hiatt and Roy Orbison).
Ray's influences are varied,blending the vocal stylings of Marvin Gaye,David Bowie,and Chuck D.with a songwritting style derived from 60's and 70's pop,tossed up in a salad of hip-hop lo-fi soul and punk DIYness.
Ray took up drums at 5, sax at 6, organ at 7,and then quit trying to play music and just listened very carefully.
