Seattle based folk n' roll band, Forest Ray, has been described as "spaced-out, down to earth, Brit-pop gone country" that sounds like "the band covering Beatles songs no one knew existed". Their songs regularly explore diverse instrumentation, which have become staples of the group's brand of rock n' roll. Through a consistent touring and recording schedule, they have become one of Seattle's most known active bands. Their sixth studio album, Windfucker (Jebivjetar), was released in January 2024. They have since followed up with a US and Canada tour and a second tour of Europe promoting the LP and are now ending with a final 2024 tour for the record in the United States.

"The new album from the Seattle outfit is a solid blend of Americana, psych and indie-rock. Peter Sumic's classic storytelling style is driven by a rich sonic tapestry of guitar, mandolin, banjo, pedal steel, harmonica and percussion, making Windfucker (jebivjetar) feel like a perfect companion for a long, dusty road trip." - KEXP Program Director, Chris Sanley

They can sound like a folksy rock band when acoustic, or a fun grunge band when the drum kit and electric instruments come out.

Led by powerful vocals from the dynamic Dallas Lee (Eel Sallad backwards), their contemplative songwriting and passionate instrumentals creates a soulful high energy sound that you can't help but move to.
