Ray Bonneville
Red House Records recording artist Ray Bonneville, has created and mastered a fusion of traditional American Roots and Blues music all his own and deeply influenced by his upbringing in French Canada and the years he spent writing and playing music in New Orleans. He is known as the master of the slow burn, the groove and one of the best harmonica players alive today. With a greasy guitar style, horn-like harmonica, smoky vocals and pulsing foot percussion he captivates audiences. In 1999 he won the Juno award (Canada’s Grammy) and was nominated twice more. Ray’s song “I am the Big Easy” was the most played song by American folk DJs, and won “Song of the Year” in 2009. Ray won the International Blues Challenge solo category in 2012 in Memphis.
