About Ray Lambiase

Ray Lambiase has recently released his fifth full length CD, The Road Ahead, featuring eleven new songs that celebrate a range of Americana musical genres, and stories that will introduce listeners to a number of new memorable characters.

He began writing and performing his own songs as a teenager on Long Island. After traveling the college coffeehouse circuit in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, he formed his first band and recorded Slow Dance Romeo/Who'll Run to You Now in the early 1980s.

The single received significant local radio airplay and led to publishing contracts with Nashville's Combine Music and Bob Dylan's Special Rider Music publishing arm.

The follow-up EP Take Me To The Movies included six songs, and was released on Great Divide Records, a music cooperative formed by Jack Hardy during the early days of the Fast Folk Greenwich Village folk movement whose members included Suzanne Vega, Shawn Colvin and Bill Morrissey.

His fourth CD, Kid Bayonne, debuted in December, 2018 at #7 on the Folk DJ radio chart, and featured ten original songs, anchored by the title cut suggesting love is always worth fighting for.

The Ballad of Three Finger Brown, was released in August 2016, and featured eleven acoustic performances of new material. The CD charted at #12 on the national Folk DJ list that month, with two cuts finishing among the twenty most played tracks. Despite the later release date, the title cut finished as the 55th most played song for all of the 2016.

Twenty Lies and Other Stories, released in the fall of 2014, included eleven original tales of love lost, love won, and the choices faced by a variety of heroes and heroines.

The band featured nationally recognized musicians Kenny Kosek (Jerry Garcia, James Taylor) on fiddle, John Widgren (Martina McBride, Toby Keith) on pedal steel and Howard Emerson (Billy Joel, Eric Andersen) on guitar.

Time Leaves Things Behind, Ray's 2013 release, also contained eleven original songs - and reunited long-time friends Mark Newman (John Oates, Sam Moore) and Kate Corrigan with original bandmates, Jim Uhl (bass), Cliff Hackford (drums) and Jack Gabis (lead guitar).

Ray lives with his wife on Long Island.

When I Build My Home (Take Me To The Movies) can also be heard on the Raquette RIver Rounders album R3. Free Men (Take Me To The Movies) was recorded for Fast Folk by Doug Waterman. Cedar Hill (Time Leaves Things Behind) was recorded by the indie-rock band King Penguin for Fruits de Mer Records.
