Ray Vanlanot bridges genres to bring a sound incorporating smooth elements of jazz and blues, edgy classic rock, subtle nuances of the singer/songwriter era and clever hooks of pop. Versatile in the performance of his various instruments, Ray has been described as a cross between James Taylor, Steve Winwood, Eric Clapton and Frank Sinatra. Ray's aim is to fill a void of substantitive musicianship while maintaining modern and classic sounds, to project such sounds into the ages.
