Good Noise | Jesse Ray | TEDxMacatawa

El reverendo Jesse Ray comenzó tocando en esquinas de la calle y más tarde participó en noches de micrófono abierto en Grand Rapids. En TEDxMacatawa presenta un set en solitario en el que toca guitarra eléctrica, canta, toca la armónica y el bombo con el pie. Su música mezcla rockabilly, blues, americana y country. El repertorio incluye canciones propias, baladas y versiones de Johnny Cash y George Jones. La charla se ofreció en un evento TEDx organizado de forma independiente por una comunidad local.

• Actuación en solitario con guitarra eléctrica, armónica, bombo con el pie y voz
• Mezcla de rockabilly, blues, country y americana
• Versiones de Johnny Cash y George Jones junto a canciones propias

Rev. Jesse Ray got his start on street corners, and he still plays like a whole band: guitar, vocals, and drums, all at once. His set celebrates the good kind of noise, from a busker’s blues and a motorcycle love song to a sing-along call to love your neighbor. Jesse Ray brings a unique blend of rockabilly blues, offering a dynamic mix of energetic originals, soulful ballads, and classic covers of legends like Johnny Cash and George Jones. Armed with his electric guitar, harmonica, foot drum, and captivating vocals, Ray is a one-man rock’n’roll, Americana, and blues powerhouse that any fan of traditional American music will not want to miss. Ray began playing music in Grand Rapids at the age of 17, playing folk music at open mic nights. While attending college in Portland, Oregon, he honed his fast, loud, and emotional playing style, blending blues, country, and rockabilly influences. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
