Jess Ray is a singer/songwriter, artist and producer based in Raleigh, NC. Ray’s particular
musical brand, affectionately dubbed “friendly folk,” is an enchanting blend of indie-pop vibes
and lyric-driven sensibility. Ray’s decade-long musical journey has weaved in and out of
Christian spaces, mainstream circles, from house concerts to historic venues like the Ryman
Auditorium in Nashville, and from solo shows to sharing the stage with her heroes. Her music,
much like herself, occupies two worlds effortlessly. Intensely spiritual yet deeply real, her songs
soar with joy and hope without ignoring the reality of our human struggle.
