The Pheasantry (Chelsea)

Following the postponement of her UK tour hit by the pandemic, Parry Ray will be back at her favourite London venue presenting a wonderful evening of jazz, musical theatre and pop. Playing with a full band of some of the UKs most talented jazz musicians, Parry Ray will be presenting songs from her catalogue which include albums produced by award winning producers (James McMillian & Andy Wright). This promises to be a night of beautiful music and wonderful performances to set the tone for the new year.

Parry Ray is a singer-songwriter & interpreter with an incredibly varied musical palette. The London based artist released her latest collection of songs in 2019 on an album called ‘OUT OF THE SHADOWS’.

This collection of beautifully recorded titles comprises a broad spectrum of both modern & classic songs known and loved from the world of musical theatre; pulled apart and tastefully reinterpreted within the jazz genre.

This album was produced and co-arranged by notable talent James McMillan (Liane Carroll, Van Morrison) who worked with Parry to arrange these outstanding songs in a way that is both wonderfully intimate and modern.

Regularly performing live at venues including the RAH, Ronnie Scotts, the Bulls Head and The Pheasantry, Parry also shares her dedication to other areas of the creative industries and huge passion for a variety of lifestyle matters via her blog platform (‘Parry Ray in Harmony’) and youtube channel. Her pieces are regularly published by the HUFFINGTON POST & she also hosts her own a PODCAST series ‘About last night’ which sees her interview and reach deep into the minds and lives of entrepreneurial women and people from a variety of other creative sectors.
