The Rick Ray Band are working hard on their new album at Studio G in Middlefield, OH. Album #32 for Rick (including his previous bands Neurotic, The Rick Ray Band [Version 1] and Riot Act, recordings which had spanned from '78 to the present).  With Dennis Corrigan singing lead vocals and playing harmonica, Wally Spizak playing bass and singing backup vocals, Paul Geltch playing his vintage Gretch drumkit, Rick Schultz playing reeds and windsynth and Rick Ray playing guitar and singing backup vocals. Also Sam Guinta of Syzygy will be making a guest appearance on a couple of songs. There's no set release date yet. The band has performed some of the material live in concert with great response. This is going to be a good one. A quote from Rick, "this is the best musical endeavor I've ever been involved in. You can read the latest interview with Rick Ray by clicking on the picture below:
Rick wanted to play guitar after seeing the The_Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show in '64. He got his first guitar in '66 at the ripe old age of 6 going on 7. In '73 he started the band NEUROTIC which went on until 1985. He then formed the Rick Ray Band (version - 1) which went on until 1989. In 1990 he formed the band Riot Act which lasted until 2000. In 2000 Rick reformed 'The Rick Ray Band' (version - 2) and has been recording and performing with them since then. They've opened for Lynyrd Skynyrd, Blue Oyster Cult, Pat Travers , The Dregs , Robin Trower , Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush , The Steve Morse Band , The Michael Schenker Group , Allan Holdsworth , Kansas , Gary Hoey , Peter Frampton , The Mark Wood Band (members of Trans Siberian Orchestra) , The Average White Band and others.
