Jeff Ray is an avant-garde resonator slide-guitarist and songwriter based in St Paul, MN. His music is rooted in the traditions of acoustic blues and American fingerstyle guitar, but Ray quickly departs from tradition. He left Minnesota for Memphis when he was just 17, developed his guitar skills and evolved into an innovator of alternate guitar tunings and slide-guitar. He returned to the Midwest and embarked on a 20+ year career as a solo performer, releasing six albums. His songs integrate flavors of Indian classical music and West-African guitar under the guise of cryptic alternate guitar tunings.

Mike Munson is an adept slide guitar player with a reverence for the history and evolution of American music. He deftly blends dark themes and heavy rhythms into songs that range from danceable to meditative. His sound marks the similarities between blues, American primitive guitar and early rock and roll.
