Hello my name is Ray Confer, stage name "Da Bluez Preacher". I play solo acoustic/electric blues through a loop pedal to bring a multilayered sound unlike most acoustic shows. As a christian my main style is high energy gospel blues. I also include standards in my sets of covers ranging from BB King to Stevie Ray Vaughn. I have been playing solo and in bands for nearly 17 years and was turned onto the blues after watching a dvd of Stevie Ray Vaughn live at El mocambo. I play the acoustic/electric both percussive and soft for a fiery blend of blues guitar.
Why this name?
a play on words as I do standard blues and gospel blues
Do you play live?
Yes currently in Northeast. I love playing live and special moments are the ones where the crowd is trying to figure out how Im getting all the sounds of a full band out of my guitar.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Its a promotional juggernaut. Digital distro is picking up pace extremely fast and its great for indie artists
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
yes
