“Ray Beadle doesn’t go through the motions, his music is all heart and soul” – Bill Brown (ABC)
“Ray is unquestionably one of the finest musicians I have come across …His song writing has a harmonic and emotional depth that many strive for but few capture. Ray’s guitar work…well, lets just say this cat is VERY dangerous.” – Chris Cain (USA)

Following his return from Memphis USA where he placed top 8 in the prestigious International Blues Challenge, Sydney-based award-winning guitarist Ray Beadle is set to release his first album in 7 years in the form of The 301 Live Session.
Featuring Ray Beadle on guitar & vocals, Jonathan Zwartz on double bass and Andrew Dickeson on snare & brushes, The 301 Live Session saw the trio hit Studios 301 in March 2020 to record the 9-track album. Recorded and produced by Stefan Du Rant, mastered by 301’s Steve Smart and exclusively produced by Geoff Trio & Ron Haryanto, the result is a slick collection of selected Beadle originals and legendary blues numbers (covering the likes of Robert Johnson, J.B. Lenoir, Louis Jordan, L.J. Welch, Joseph Perkins Greene, Muddy Waters and J. Smith).
Released on July 10 2020, The 301 Live Session is the seventh release for Beadle who says; “Recording this live in studio album was spontaneous and fun. I’m very grateful to be joined by two of the finest musicians I know.” The album also marks the first release for newly launched label Interface Music. The label’s Geoff Trio says “With the release of Ray Beadle’s ‘The 301 Live Session, Interface Music is excited to announce the signing of Ray to Interface Blue – a new sub label specialising in Jazz and Blues.”
Between May 15 and July 10, one recorded track & video from The 301 Live Session will be released each week, kicking off with ‘Whiskey Drinking Fool’ (Ray Beadle original) on May 15.
A fixture on the live music circuit, the prominent guitarist has supported the likes of Albert Lee, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Robert Cray, Joe Bonamassa, Eric Bibb and more… Set to perform at this year’s Byron Bay Bluesfest and Blues on Broadbeach before the Covid-19 pandemic hit, this collection of live tracks in an intimate studio setting is a must for your live music fix.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
