He has seven solo CDs to his credit and is heard on upwards of 500 recordings as a session player. He was a guest artist on The Great Blue North with Special Consensus which won Collaborative Performance of the Year at the 2023 IBMAs for their rendition of “Alberta Bound.” Ray runs his own recording studio and label in his home in Sackville, New Brunswick.
