   關於 Erik Fingers Ray
Drifting down from the Eastern Front of the Rocky Mountains, Erik Ray carves a wide swath through the Montana music scene. For nearly three decades, “Fingers” has toured throughout the Northwest, bringing his unique brand of music to the denizens of Big Sky Country. Whether playing for a brawling roadhouse crowd or at an uptown wedding reception, this One-Man-Band fits the bill. His swinging style of music runs the gamut of blues, country, folk, rock and jazz. Born and raised near the Hi-Line of north central Montana, Erik’s country roots run deep. Performing throughout Montana and the Northwest region, “Fingers” throws a wide loop. In a time of digitalized electronic gadgetry, Erik’s old fashioned, no nonsense approach to his music is refreshingly original. He truly plays four instruments simultaneously. Crowds watch in wonder as he pounds out the rhythm on a bass drum with his right foot while his left foot syncopates a snappy cadence on the high hat cymbals. His right thumb walks a heavy bass line on the guitar while his fingers strum the melody. Strong vocals and a mean harmonica styling complete the full band sound. Playing dance halls and concert venues usually occupied by four and five piece bands, Erik Ray has built a solid reputation as one of Montana’s finest and most original musicians. His high-energy stage show and warm audience rapport are distinctively invigorating.

Hey Dad, your Jabberwocky song still gives me nightmares:) I was wondering when we are going up to the cabin, when you go back to school, and if you play anywhere on Jan. 4th? I will be home on Friday. I have two more finals tomorrow. I love you and I'll see you soon!

Erik 'Fingers' Ray is the best one man band in the world. I'd of ripped his style off years ago, but I can't do it. I've tried.
