Raymond Charles "Ray" LaMontagne (born June 18, 1973)
is an American folk singer-songwriter who lives on a farm in Maine with his wife and two sons.
Reportedly, after hearing a Stephen Stills song, LaMontagne decided to quit his job at a shoe factory
and pursue a career in music.
He has since released three albums, Trouble, Till the Sun Turns Black and Gossip in the Grain.
Ray LaMontagne is particularly known for his raspy voice, which he claims to have learned by singing
through his gut and not his nose.
LaMontagne claims that he is highly influenced by Stephen Stills, Richard Manuel, and Rick Danko.
Critics have compared LaMontagne's music to that of The Band, Van Morrison, Nick Drake, and Tim Buckley.
LaMontagne refers to himself as a "very private person", and rarely gives interviews.
He also usually does not interact with the audience between songs during his live shows.
LaMontagne has been known to perform live shows in the dark in order to separate himself from the audience.
