Ray Beadle

Ray Beadle is one of Australia’s most electrifying blues artists — an exhilarating guitarist, soulful vocalist and acclaimed songwriter whose playing evokes the greats while remaining unmistakably his own. A multiple Australian Blues Award winner (Best Artist, Best Album, Best Guitarist, Best Vocalist) and Hall of Fame inductee, Ray’s music comes straight from the heart, shaped by decades of performing nationally and internationally.

Starting his musical life at just nine years old, Ray spent formative years with the legendary Foreday Riders — Australia’s “University of the Blues” — before going on to share stages with major touring artists and captivating audiences at festivals around the world. His three-month residency at BB King’s Club in Memphis and appearances at Southern U.S. blues festivals cemented his reputation as a genuine master of the craft.

In October 2025, Ray made his first visit to the UK. Arriving as a relative unknown, he finished the tour with sold‑out shows purely through word of mouth, a testament to the power of his live performances.
