Description
I am a solo acoustic/electric guitarist/vocalist playing completely live, (no backing tracks), using harmonizing effects for background vocals and occasional phrase sampling for accompanying guitar solos. Material includes Top 40, country, classic rock, and acoustic contemporary. I play a minimal amount of jazz. I do NOT play classical music.
I've been playing for over 40 years in various settings and ensembles. Whether you need a laid back setting or a high energy party atmosphere, I can satisfy any party or event.
I am fully insured for any location, either public or private.
I am also furthering my repetoire, knowledge, and experience for same-sex weddings and other related events.

Feedback
- Very professional, great musician and singer. He made the occassion very special. Would definitely hire him again. If you are looking for live music with a cool feel than Jonny Ray is the best choice. -- Kristy C, Deer Park, NY, 8/9/2009
- We held a work function at a private residence. Johnny was terrific from the start once contacted thru the website. He called about the party, the people and made every effort to satisfy our needs. The weather was a typical summer thunderstorm. Johnny accommodated our ask to move outside once the first storm passed moving his equipment. Then it rained again and we had to move back inside. Not once did he pushback. He just kept playing. His set list was terrific in terms of genre and he totally supported us when one of our employees (who can sing) wanted to belt out a song...he's terrific and I will absolutely refer him and bring him back again. Centerport NY -- Vinny C, Centerport, NY, 7/21/2010
- Jonny Ray is an amazing person and performer.I and my guests were so impressed with his choice of music, ages 15-76.He got everyone up and dancing. Throughout the evening compliments were given. I am a big fan of him and look forward to seeing him playing locally. I strongly recommend Jonny Ray for your next gathering. What a great 50th birthday I had and Jonny made it even more festive!.
