THE RAY JAURIQUE BAND IS A SINGER/SONGWRITER/GUITAR PLAYER WITH SEASONED MUSICIANS WHO ARE FOCUSING ON ONE THING: PRESENTING WELL WRITTEN, SOULFUL SONGS, WRITTEN & SUNG BY RAY.

MORE THAN ONCE THE QUESTION HAS COME UP. “…WELL WHAT (OR WHO) DOES IT SOUND LIKE?”  THE SHORT ANSWER MIGHT BE “WELL… IT SOUNDS LIKE RAY JAURIQUE.  BUT WHEN PRESSED TO COMPARE, IT MIGHT BE ACCURATE TO POINT TO ONE PART SAM COOKE, ONE PART ALBERT KING, A PINCH OF ALBERT COLLINS, ONE PART DELBERT MC CLINTON, A TOUCH OF KEB MO’, SOME VAN MORRISON WITH A LITTLE HOLLAND- DOZIER- HOLLAND THROWN IN.

RAY JAURIQUE, ALSO KNOWN AS "RAYJAY" IS VENTURA COUNTY’S OWN LIVE WIRE BLUESMAN. THE CALIFORNIA NATIVE HAS BEEN KNOWN AROUND THE AREA FOR HIS SOULFUL SINGING AND POWERFUL GUITAR WORK. SINCE THE RELEASE OF HIS BAND’S 2014 CD, MANY ARE SAYING HE MAY BE ONE OF THE BEST SINGER/SONG WRITERS LOCALLY OR ANYWHERE ELSE. WHILE THE BAND STILL COVERS SOME FAVORITES, THE FOCUS IS NOW ON HIS EVER GROWING CATALOGUE OF ORIGINAL SONGS. THE MOST RECENT BEING SHOWCASED ON THE LATESTS ALBUM RELEASE, RAY JAURIQUE SOUL REMEDY. YOU’LL HEAR THIS HEARTFELT  MATERIAL THAT MANY ARE SAYING IS LONG OVERDUE. WE THINK YOU’LL AGREE AND WE HOPE YOU LIKE WHAT YOU HEAR.
