About the Artist
Ray Cooke was born in Providence, R.I. in a time when rock music was revolutioned. Listened to bands like "The Stones", "Elton John", "The Beatles", and "The Doors". Ray jumped up and down in his crib and screeched in delight! He was hooked! Though times were tough for Ray and his family, and hope was often dim,music became a great escape, and later an outlet. Playing electric guitar to Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin, Ray found his nitch. He played in various bands and hit various clubs throughout New England. As time went by, writing and singing became a key focus. For 10 years Ray layed back, started a family, and tried different occupations, including a successful Volvo repair business, which he left to devote more time to his family and music. Over the years, singing and songing became Ray's forte. Polishing his talents with an acoustic guitar and pen, Ray has risen above and beyond any expectations. With the release of his first CD,"CHASIN THE BLISS", and performing a solo acoustic act, Ray has had rave reviews and has become even more focused and commited to his love of music, writing, and performing!
