A keen observer of the human condition, with sensitivity and wit. A brilliant songwritier... poetry married to an unsurpassed guitar style...lyrics clear as water."” - David Francey
It's been 9ish years since Don's last Album and I can tell you, with great surety, that it was worth the wait! This is a solid, beautiful, sad and playful record with great singing, exceptional playing and some damn fine songwriting!” - Michael Wrycraft

About Don

Don Bray has been playing guitar and writing songs longer than most of us have been alive. 

In 1969 he saw Bruce Cockburn in concert and remembers thinking “That’s what I want to do with the guitar.” Of course he felt that way about Jeff Beck and Leo Kottke as well. 

He grew up in a magic time in terms of songwriting. The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, and many more all watered his seeds. 

These days you’ll find him playing his songs on guitar, hollowneck lap slide and mandolin. To Don songs are all about the emotion and he invites you to imbibe.  

Over the years Don has played numerous Folk Festivals such as Mariposa, Folk on the Rock, Trout Forest Festival. His favourite thing is House Concerts. His songs have been played on CBC and numerous other Folk shows. 

Don’s 6th solo CD was released in February of 2020.
