Our guest today is Ray Jones.

Ray is an established singer songwriter from the quiet Western Australia coastal hamlet of Myalup Beach.

Influenced by the country Americana and folk movement Ray turns his song writing to deeply personal life experiences and hard-hitting social issues.

Ray has been songwriting and recording over the past couple of years with Bill Chambers that recorded and produced Rays debut album Sleeping Rough which was released February 2020.

In recent times Ray has teamed up with Aria Hall of fame member and Australian music heavyweight Kerryn Tolhurst that produced and played on Rays new music that will be released in 2022, and they plan to collaborate further in the future.

Ray has been nominated for several country music awards, album, single and songwriter of the year for the 2021 WA country music awards, yet to be announced.

We Write About Music in Los Angeles listed ‘Sleeping Rough’ at number 12 on the academy of world artists.
