SUMMARY:Artist in residence– Debo Ray – r&B night – in the performance space
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT DEBO RAY\nGrammy-nominated recording artist/vocalist extraordinaire Debo Ray has performed on some of the world’s biggest stages: Newport and Monterey Jazz\, Carnegie Hall\, The Hollywood Bowl and more. Her versatility from neo-soul/R&B to jazz\, pop\, classical/opera and rock is unmatched. In a Boston Globe feature\, music critic Jon Garelick asks: “Is there anything Debo Ray can’t sing?” as well as describing her” emotional expression and charismatic stage presence”. \nBefore becoming known for her genre-bending contemporary R&B music\, Debo established herself as an in-demand session vocalist\, member of NEA jazz master Terri Lyne Carrington’s band Social Science\, music director for world music powerhouse Women of the World and even had a lead role in an opera with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra in 2023. She is an assistant professor at Berklee College of Music. \nIn early 2025\, Debo released her debut self-titled album of original contemporary R&B material which she co-wrote along with\, among others\, Grammy winning producer Prince Charles Alexander.  The album has received rave reviews worldwide and over 370\,000 streams on Spotify. One of the tracks\, Now You’re Here won 1st place in the USA Songwriting Competition in the R&B category. Debo is following that up in 2026 with a 4 song EP Echoes and Embers. She is an immersive\, charismatic performer who connects deeply with her audience.
