Inspired from an early age by the old blues masters, Ray Goren delivers his own unique high energy blues/Rock that takes the listener through a musical and emotional journey. His soulful R&B infused vocals and soul piercing guitar work will make you lose yourself in the music and get away for a while from the daily toil --- exactly what blues was designed to do. While paying homage to the music of his Chicago-based idols such as Freddie King, Albert King and Luther Allison to name just a few, Ray's music has evolved, combining Chicago blues with the electrifying energy of Stevie Ray Vaughn and Hendrix, with unexpected creativity and modern rock elements. This combination of elements had helped Ray create his own unique sound. Ray's music is the natural evolution of the blues-rock. It is first and foremost inspired by feel, each song will be different based on the interaction with the audience and the feel of the moment. The show will leave you feeling like you have just witnessed a remarkable moment and experienced and emotional catharsis that will stay with you.
Hailed by music critics as a must-see explosive performer, Ray Goren’s “Save My Soul” EP released last winter has been on the Root’s charts for four months now, peaking at number 13 on list of Contemporary Blues Albums. At the same time Ray and his original music were featured on the home page of Guitar World on June 23, 2014. Not bad for a young artist who is self-releasing.
