Ray LaMontagne

Ray LaMontagne built his name on a rasped, soulful voice and songs that lean folk and soul in equal measure, starting with "Trouble" back in 2004. Records like "Gossip in the Grain" and "Supernova" show a writer willing to shift textures album to album, but that gravelly warmth stays constant.

He has Colorado dates coming up at Gerald R Ford Amphitheater and Red Rocks Amphitheatre, two rooms that suit a voice like his.
