Band Members: Ray Starr
Influences: Ray Starr has been influenced by The Texas Troubador Ernest Tubb. Back when he was 10 years old, he got a chance to meet him a couple of times and his way with people just stuck with Ray. In Ernest Tubb's eyes everyone is important no matter who they are. He loved the way Ernest Tubb entertained the audience. Ernest helped many people by having them as guests on the Midnite Jamboree.
Sounds Like: Ray met Mel Tillis in 1968 at Club Ludwig's in Jackson, Michigan. Mel Told Ray he played the guitar like Hank Williams. His only advice to Ray was if you want to be a performer you've got to keep working at it all the time and to never give up. Everyone has a dream and some of them come true. Ray also got this same message when he met and talked to Bill Anderson. Ray has been told he sounds like Willie Nelson when he recorded music in his younger days of country music. He has never tried to sound like anyone in particular. What happens he thinks is when you find a song that really touches your heart you can't help but sing with a lot of feeling. Attending many country concerts, he has been influenced by the performers and he has always picked up continuous music knowledge from their shows through the years.
