About Me

Ernest Ray Everett BIOGRAPHY Ernest Ray Everett is a Country boy, born and raised in Brandon, Mississippi. His songs and performances have thrilled the hearts of thousands both in America and Europe. Ernest began writing songs when he was four years old, and learning to play the piano and guitar was a natural for him. It was around Christmas time and Ernest's father went to the store to get something really quick. When he came back, Ernest was playing a Gospel hymn on the piano, "When We Walk With the Lord". His talent was recognized and supported by his parents. At the age of eleven, he joined his first band ,"The Singing Deciples", a local Gospel band from Jackson, Mississippi. Together they toured a wide span of the Southern States. Ernest later joined another Gospel Group by the name of "The Steele Family". Among the members were many of his school friends. This group was founded by Jeffery Steele, today a famous song writer in Nashville, TN, who is now a preacher for a church in Alabama. Faith Perry, otherwise known as Faith Hill was also in the group and went to school with Ernest. Together the two of them participated in many talent shows and won the " Most Talented" awards at McLauren High School for a few years in a row. At the age of 17, Ernest began to play for a band in Forrest, Mississippi called "The Lazy River Band" that eventually cut an album with the "Charlie Daniels Band". Shortly after this, Ernest felt the calling of patriotism and joined the United States Army. He was stationed in Nürnberg Germany for four years. During his term of duty, he was a member of the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment's Band as singer, keyboarder and drummer. He also had a couple of projects with other band on the side. Ernest started a group in 1988 called "Masque" that later became "Rakkytt". They were Southern and Mainstream Rock bands that became well known in Germany in a very short time. Around 1990, Ernest became the singer for the rock formation "Spellbound" and was produced by Milli-Vanilli's own John Davis. Ernest returned to Country Music in 1993 when he joined a local band called "Southern Pacific Line". This band won a contest in Aachen with Radio Komma 1 and went to Hollywood, California for a professional video shooting. The song Mr. Right was filmed and the video came over really well with their fans. Another of his songs was put on a sampler and played on international flights from Germany to America. SPL split and Silverwood was born. This was a European award winning band, all the way through the 90's. Their CD's were sold all over Europe. Ernest also sang for a band named CCB which ventured in the Southern-Rock Country direction. In 2006, Ernest recorded the “Not For Sale” Album with 11 original songs, playing all instruments accept the steel guitar parts that were graciously done by Winfried Wohlbold and came over very well with the Country audiences in Europe. Ernest is now planning a new CD production with all original songs. This is planned to be recorded in Nashville, TN with top artists. Ernest has just come off tour with Paul Overstreet and is very motivated in this direction. Ernest encourages his audience to forget their worries during his concerts while listening to his music, to open up and let the music warm and bring joy to their hearts and souls.Masthead Banner Made with MyBannerMaker.com!

Background from Yahoo search result Ernest Ray Everett wurde im Herzen des Southern Rock & Blues, in der kleinen Stadt Brandon, Mississippi, geboren. Sein Talent wurde unterstützt durch seine Liebe zur Musik und seinem Wunsch, auf der Bühne zu stehen. Schon in jungen Jahren nahm er an verschiedenen Talentwettbewerben teil und war als junger, aufsteigender Künstler sehr bekannt.Ernest spielte schon im Alter von 11 Jahren sehr gut Klavier und sang mit mehreren, in den Südstaaten sehr bekannten Gospelgruppen. Im Alter von 15 Jahren ging er mit der international bekannten Gospelgruppe "The Steel Family" auf Tour, die von dem heute zu Amerika's Top Entertainern zählenden Bro. Jeff Steele geleitet wurde. Dies war auch die erste Erfahrung mit einer Band für Ernest. Mitglied der Band war auch die sehr bekannte Country-Sängerin Faith Hill. Während dieser Zeit wurde auch ein Live Album mit dem Titel "Sunday Night Live" aufgenommen.Ernest's erstes Solo-Album wurde 1994 veröffentlicht. Er komponierte alle Lieder und spielte sämtliche Instrumente selbst ein. Der Titel des Albums ist "All it's gonna take".Später wurde er Mitglied bei der Band "Southern Pacific Line", die sich wiederum zur Band Silverwood formierte, mit der er europaweit Preise und Auszeichnungen gewann.Im Jahre 2001 trat er der in der Country-Szene sehr bekannten Band CCB bei, mit der er durch ganz Europa tourte, internationale Auszeichnungen absahnte und später ein Rockalbum produzierte, das sehr großen Anklang fand.Er wollte jedoch mehr, und so beschloss er, im November 2005 solo zu gehen und seine eigene Band auf die Beine zu stellen. Mit dieser Band "ERAY" gewann er im November 2005 den 3. Preis bei der jährlichen Veranstaltung des Deutschen Rock- und Popverbandes in Hamburg!!Dieser talentierte Künstler schreibt, performed und zeichnet seine Kompositionen selbst auf.Er lässt sich von alltäglichen Situationen inspirieren - Situationen, mit denen sich jeder identifizieren kann. "Es gibt nichts Schöneres als das Wissen, dass einer meiner Songs das Herz von jemandem berührt hat" Er möchte mit seinen Songs die Herzen von genügend Menschen erreichen, um so eine Veränderung herbeiführen zu können."Die Kunst ist es, nicht das zu wollen, was man nicht hat, sondern das zu schätzen, was man hat… Sei so, wie Du Dir einen Freund wünschen würdest."Lassen Sie sich von diesem begnadeten Künstler, den man sowohl solo als auch mit Band buchen kann, in eine musikalische Dimension entführen, wie sie sie bislang noch nicht kannten.
