Accomplished guitarist, singer and songwriter, Brian writes:
Found a natural inclination to rhyme
Learned some guitar, figured it was time
In Gimmicks with 12-string and harmony lead
Till Monomania rode on the new wave creed
To Max’s, CBGB’s, the Mudd Club so suitable
Discs about the everyday, yet wildly, unusual
In Strange Heroes a chance to ponder the epic
Then pause to raise family; unapologetic
The songs kept coming from the Unborn Mind
A few years craft Downtown, Saturn refined
Till the pull to find a new challenge made land
A crew known today as The North River Band
Ray Ovetsky has been a guitar player-performer since the age of 9, leading up to being a graduate student at the Berklee College of Music. Ray is always looking to jam, be it Classic, Modern/ Progressive, Southern Rock, Blues, Soul, R&B, Cool Country or whatever... as long as it grooves, moves and drips with feel and style, fitting in as an expressive and creative player. Great chemistry, sense of humor and easy going attitude is always required when getting together with other players. Influenced by the greats: Larry Carlton, Robin Ford, Steve Lukather, Hendrix, Clapton and Allman to name but a few.
Ray’s passion for playing keeps the flame lit and his fingers busy.
