Ray
Stephenson may be the next key singer/songwriter
of our time. He has already crafted songs for Willie Nelson, Merle
Haggard, John Anderson, Guy Clark (GRAMMY nominated album of the
year), Jeff Bates, Steve Holy, The Wilkinsons, Sonya Issacs and
more; his artistic talents are also expressed in his paintings.
He resides in Nashville, TN and tours over 120+ shows a year (mostly across the southeast). Ray’s songs are surprisingly soulful and thoughtful for a writer his age. There is a strong thread of honesty woven into his lyrics and his songs are generally filled with stories about life, love, and loss.
His newest solo album entitled Gravity is receiving critical praise from the Nashville press and the recording community. Gravity is a very autobiographical album. “It combines beautifully crafted lyric and narrative with stellar melody and feel,” says Gavin Richards of the Music City Scene.
The album features songs such as "Farmboy" and "Honkytonk Road" written with another accomplished writer, Bob Dipiero. These songs shed light on the artist's early years and the current life of this singer/guitar player from South Georgia. It also features 3 collaborations with CM Hall of Fame songwriter and two time GRAMMY nominee Guy Clark.
