Writing new songs on a weekly basis, Ray Prim consistently cranks out heartfelt pop material that is both soulful and folky in roots. On February 2, 2013 he released an album at Strange Brew on the South end of Austin featuring Karen Goh and a long list of talented musicians. The release was a huge success as he had to turn people away at the door and for good reason: going to a Ray Prim show is like going to a party with one hell of a soundtrack and a room full of quirky new friends. It’s an interactive experience between jokes, appropriately placed anecdotes and the crowd swaying to the vocal blends of Ray and his backup singer whom he affectionately calls Mexican Chocolate.
In addition to being a wonderful writer and performer, Ray also hosts The Real Weird Soul Writers Club from 7-8:30p.m. at the One-2-One Bar, every Monday but the first of the month. In this event audience members get to contribute to the songwriting process by writing down ideas which are then drawn from a hat. If their idea is selected the song will be performed the following week. Leave it to Ray to keep things interesting! — Written by Charise Sowells
