The Debo Ray R&B Experience
The Debo Ray R&B Experience
Award-winning vocalist/performer extraordinaire Debo Ray has performed on some of the world’s biggest stages. Her versatility and vocal range are unmatched; from R&B/funk to jazz, rock, world beat and even opera. Boston Globe music critic John Garelick wrote, “What can’t Debo Ray sing”?
Debo was nominated for a Grammy in 2022 for her work with NEA Jazz Master Terri Lyne Carrington’s band Social Science. She’s performed at both Newport and Monterey Jazz and was featured in a contemporary opera with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra.
Debo writes music drawn from her personal experiences growing up in a strict Haitian American family, her mental health struggles, relationships good and bad, love, yearning, despair and striving/hoping for better days. Her lyrical storytelling, combined with irresistible grooves and her charismatic persona makes for an unforgettable evening.
Debo comes to the Majestic for an evening of contemporary R&B with elements of jazz, rock, hip hop and funk. Debo and her killer band will perform music from her highly acclaimed, self-titled debut album (produced by multiple Grammy winner, R&B legend Prince Charles Alexander) as well as cuts from her just-released follow up EP Echoes and Embers. You may also hear some covers from the likes of Chaka Khan, Lauren Hill, Tina Turner, Nina Simone and more.
From a recent concert review in Sound of Boston, music writer Mehvish Ali wrote, “The energy is electric..Her performance leaves audiences not just entertained, but held, moved and inspired. “
With Debo, it’s not just a show; it’s an experience!
