Ray has been creating a unique blend of R&B and rock and is an unforgettable guitar and keyboard player. This is no surprise, before the age of three, Ray Goren played nursery songs on his toy keyboard. By the age of five, he was playing his favorite tunes by Thelonious Monk, J.J. Johnson, Lee Morgan, Milt Jackson, Miles Davis, Jackie McLean and Oscar Peterson. A few years later, while searching Youtube, Ray stumbled on a clip of BB King, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Buddy Guy and Albert Collins playing together. After talking his parents into getting him a guitar, Ray put all of his musical efforts into learning the blues before going back to playing other styles. Ray released his first EP on June 24, 2014. The EP, called LA Sessions, was premiered by Guitar World which featured the EP on the homepage. The EP was produced by the legendary Eddie Kramer (Hendrix, Kiss, Zeppelin). Abe Laroriel, Jr (McCartney) and Paul Bushnell (Tim McGraw) played Drums and Bass. All the songs on LA Sessions were written by Ray Goren who contributed lead vocals, guitars and keys. AXs Entertainment music review hailed Ray Goren as one of the ten best independent artists of summer of 2014. Deb Hebert of Bluebird reviews wrote that"if Goren had been one of the finalists on this season's American Idol stage--his intricate vocal runs and scorching solo work would have rendered judges Harry Connick, Jr., Jennifer Lopez, and Keith Urban speechless". Here are others had to say about Ray:Renowned Chicago Tribune music critic Howard Reich wrote of Ray’s performance: “No one rattles the place like Ray Goren, from the Los Angeles area. He plays electric guitar — and sings — with a fluency, ease and depth of expression that defy easy explanation”. After seeing Ray in Monterey, reviewer Jason Debord wrote: “[Ray] is a real phenomenon, and you sit there not believing what you are seeing and hearing… It was really one of the most unbelievable moments I’ve experienced at any concert. Amazing.” After opening night of the 2013 Chicago Blues Festival, Chicago Sun Times music critic Thomas Conner wrote:“Young Ray Goren stepped up Thursday night and ripped out a guitar solo that would have made some hairs fall out of Stevie Ray Vaughan's soul patch”.
