Good Noise | Jesse Ray | TEDxMacatawa

Le révérend Jesse Ray, qui a commencé à jouer dans la rue puis dans des soirées micro ouvert à Grand Rapids, propose un set en solo lors de TEDxMacatawa. Il joue seul à la guitare électrique, au chant, à l'harmonica et à la grosse caisse au pied, en mêlant rockabilly, blues, Americana et country. Le programme comprend des chansons originales, des ballades soul et des reprises de Johnny Cash et George Jones. La présentation a été donnée lors d'un événement TEDx organisé de manière indépendante par une communauté locale.

• Performance solo à la guitare électrique, harmonica, grosse caisse au pied et chant

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
