Good Noise | Jesse Ray | TEDxMacatawa

O reverendo Jesse Ray começou a tocar em esquinas de rua e depois se apresentou em noites de microfone aberto em Grand Rapids. No TEDxMacatawa, ele faz um set solo tocando guitarra elétrica, cantando, tocando harmônica e bumbo com o pé. Sua música mistura rockabilly, blues, americana e country. O repertório inclui composições próprias, baladas e covers de Johnny Cash e George Jones. A palestra foi apresentada em um evento TEDx organizado de forma independente por uma comunidade local.

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
