FEATURE ARTIST
Our feature artist this week is Ray Mailman. A funk/soul/pop performer from Edmonton. Ray has transcended the realms of many genres to create his own eclectic style and groove. Using funk, rock, jazz,soul and pop influences in his music Ray appeals to a wide range of audiences in his high energy shows. Ray released his first EP titled Sideways in 2008. It's difficult to compare Ray to other artists, but comparisons have been made to Jason Mraz, Maroon 5, Jamiroquai and occasionally the Red Hot Chili Peppers. We think he sounds a bit like Jesse Peters! We featured his song called I Didn't Know. Don't forget to check out Ray's show at Axis Cafe on September 11th. Get your E-TICKETS today!

Jeff describes his sound as roots-pop. Other than playing the Folk Fest, Jeff was part of the TransCanada Alberta Music Series in Calgary at the EPCOR Centre for Performing Arts in March and Jeff recently represented the band at NXNE in June in Toronto.
"It's elegant, sophisticated, daring, and brilliantly creative, but more than anything, just as the band's name suggests, this music is indeed from the heart." -CKUA Presents: Alberta Discoveries, September, 2009
We featured Jeff's song Hold Out off his album Black Dog Blue Giants.
