Chris Ray's music is a breath of fresh air in the music scene. With beautiful vocals, sometimes whispered, sometimes shouted, there is no shortage of passion in their meaning. One can only fully experience his absolute love for his craft by seeing him live. Swaying with the music, living and dying with each heart-rending lyric, this is truly music at its most honest. Every new composition brings a new level of maturity, both in lyrics and music. This young man uses his heartache and his joy to connect with his audience, and it works flawlessly. His music ranges from summer sing-alongs to thought-provoking somber ballads. His music makes one feel undeniably ecstatic for the human condition, and the sheer honesty of his words, the plaintive yearning in his voice makes everyone stop to listen. Gently strumming his guitar, mellow vocals, and the earnest truth in this man's music truly revives the spirit of the singer/songwriter. Chris Ray truly inspires his listeners to open their eyes to the world for what it is; a sad yet beautiful place.
