I’m now living in Seattle, WA and am available for online tracking.




Bill Ray is a Grammy-winning musician, having fulfilled the role as Ike Turner’s last drummer for the last 7 years of Turner’s life. During that time BR played such fetes as Montreux Jazz Festival, Northsea, Pori, Memphis in May, and the Antique Theater in Vienne, France. Bill’s playing can be heard on “Risin’ With The Blues”, which is Turner’s final performance that took “Best Traditional Blues” for a Grammy Award in 2007.

In addition to the Turner camp, Ray stays busy with The Kings of Rhythm (Ike’s band) featuring Earl Thomas on vocals and numerous local San Diego bands and artists.

Currently Bill is releasing “blank drum tracks of an organic nature” in the hopes that people will use them, compose to it, and send back the idea that Bill hopes to use on a future release.
