Da Bluez Preacher
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.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
