"Astonishing acoustic slide guitar work." - Downtown Music Gallery, NY
"Scot Ray's slide guitar expressiveness is at one and the same time surgical and full of hearty joy, a true set of firecrackers for any guitarist AND acoustic music aficionado in general." - Touching Extremes, Italy
"Ray's dobro work is exemplary." - Aiding & Abetting, NC
"Prepare to be slain by Ray's slide-guitar grind, which is as clean, tough and rootsy as it comes. He is capable of both the downest of Delta slidations and the noisiest of apocalyptic disruptions." - Metaljazz, Los Angeles
"Scot Ray with the electric dobro is especially opening new perspectives." - Free Jazz, Stef Gijssels
"Ray generates a kaleidoscopic array of sound with his dobro; from languid slides to fragmentary picking, his instrument's resonator hums with ghostly blues inflection one minute, scintillating crystalline shards the next." All About Jazz, Troy Collins
Scot Ray's eclectic and innovative 6, 12, & 22 string slide guitar work is informed by his many years as a professional jazz trombonist. His multi-instrument musical career has run the gamut, from work with Stray Cat Brian Setzer (which included a Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental) to Cuban percussionist Francisco Aguabella, from pop icons Gwen Stefani, Jason Mraz, Dionne Warwick, Tony Bennett, Elliot Easton & Ray Manzarek to new music pioneers Nels Cline, Vinny Golia, Steuart Liebig & Mark Dresser (not to mention Caribbean cruise ships to Buddhist funeral bands). This diverse musical landscape has transported Ray to multifarious venues in over one dozen countries, including performances on David Byrne's Sessions At W. 54th Street, David Letterman, Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien, The DuMaurier Jazz Festival, and Festival Harmonica Sur Cher '09. In addition to having played on numerous soundtracks, including 'Stuart Little', 'Me, Myself, and Irene', and 'Three To Tango', he has also received a vote as 'rising star' from Down Beat Magazine. Ray, with intermittent excursions to perform with Gutpuppet and Steuart Liebig's Tee-tot Quartet, currently lives in a small mountain town excavating the sonic depths of slide guitar.
"Scot Ray is a sensible master of the objective sliding truth and I wouldn’t hesitate to compare him to players on the same level of Ry Cooder and Sonny Landreth. He’s a diversified velvet-touch fingerstylist whose evolved phrasing fuses past and future seamlessly." - Touching Extremes, Italy
