About

Ray Lamontagne is no stranger to the world Folk music. His fourth album, "God Willin' & The Creek Don't Rise," released in 2010, won the Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk album, and he subsequently embarked on the 2011 Pariah Dogs Summer Tour, so named after his new band The Pariah Dogs. With a soulful upper register and a breathless falsetto that adds hints of R&B to otherwise straightforward folk arrangements, LaMontagne's voice is always at the center of his performances. The typically reticent singer keeps banter to a minimum at his concerts, pouring his concentration into the songs, at times even singing with his eyes closed.

LaMontagne's journey to the spotlight has been anything but conventional. Though he released his debut album "Trouble" in September 2004, it didn't receive popular attention until nearly two years later, when it made a top five entry in the UK charts and eventually went on to sell over 250,000 units in the US alone. By the time of his second release, 2006's "Til the Sun Turns Black," LaMontagne was fast becoming a household ticket, his songs appearing in television shows like "Rescue Me," "Grey's Anatomy," and "Bones." Once again teaming with producer Ethan Johns, LaMontagne's critically-acclaimed third album "Gossip in the Grain" entered the Billboard charts at No. 3, his highest entry to date, entering the Billboard charts at No. 3.

Though not a radical departure from his earlier output, God Willin' & the Creek Don't Rise marked a subtle changes to LaMontagne's sound and recording process. He opted to self-produce the album at his home in Massachusetts, and it marked the first collaborative release with his band the Pariah Dogs. While a few songs venture into slightly more aggressive territory (bookends “Repo Man” and “Devil's in the Jukebox”), the album is otherwise characterized by hazy Americana instrumentation and LaMontagne's yearning vocals.

    The Best thing!

    by Skippy on 10/11/23Paramount Theatre - Seattle

    I can honestly say that this is the best concert I have ever been to. Ray LaMontagne went out of his way to sing all of his fans favourite songs. His voice was perfection! And I love how he shared little stories before some of the songs. I would go again tomorrow if I could.

    the best one yet

    by mdo on 10/11/23Paramount Theatre - Seattle

    We have been to nearly every show that Ray has done in the area, and a couple far from home. This was the best show we have ever seen of his with the possible exception of the 2009 show at McCaw Hall with the steel guitar player. We were slightly incredulous that all of the songs chosen, aside from the new ones, were the 20 most popular songs. I think he threw in a few of his personal favorites. The set list did nicely span his career thus far. When he spoke in between songs he had thoughtful non offensive sharings, the visuals were additive, and the two (other) folks playing were great, in particular the guy who played ALL the instruments (except bass). Thanks for just passing through the west coast Ray Ray!

    He did not disappoint!

    by Patty on 10/11/23Paramount Theatre - Seattle

    We couldn't find the venue parking even with Google Maps help (or lack of). But we found a spot and only had to walk a couple of blocks. We were running a bit late and missed the opening artist, who I really want to see, but we didn't miss any of Ray, so that was great. His voice just gets better and better!

    Everything we had hoped for

    by Wayne A on 10/11/23Paramount Theatre - Seattle

    The paramount theatre venue in Seattle was perfect and Ray LaMontagne was everything we had hoped for. Pitch perfect! There was a lot of love for Ray in the room, we made some new friends and we all love the poet, the musician and the performer. Oh and we came all the way from the UK for this one gig.

    by Jacqueline on 10/11/23Paramount Theatre - Seattle

    Ray Lamontagne is my absolute favorite artist to see at the Paramount…or anywhere for that matter. His voice and stage presence is mesmerizing. Please bring him back to Seattle again soon!

    A beautiful night of music!

    by Steph S on 10/11/23Paramount Theatre - Seattle

    Ray is a bit of an introvert, so don't expect a TON of audience engagement. His stage was simple and aesthetic and the imagery was unique and artistic. Ray's voice and musicality are unmatched. We thoroughly enjoyed our night and got the chance to hear all of our favorites and two beautiful new songs. 10/10!!

    Ray LaMontagne

    by Greg on 10/11/23Paramount Theatre - Seattle

    Overall an amazing show. Ray and his backing band were outstanding. My only criticism is that the audio at the Paramount could have been better. We had great seats and it seemed like they needed some additional speakers for folks near the front/center of the stage. Not louder, just higher quality sound.

    Ray is the BEST

    by JR on 10/10/23Queen Elizabeth Theatre - Vancouver

    If you've never seen Ray live, you've never been to a REAL concert. If you want authentic, true sound from the purest voice you'll ever hear, do yourself a favor and go see Ray! Unbelievable concert every single time!

    Amazing experience

    by KS on 10/10/23Queen Elizabeth Theatre - Vancouver

    Ray LaMontagne was an incredible experience. He may have been the most authentic performance I have ever seen. His music was soulful and out of this world and his storytelling and dialogue with the audience was genuine, thoughtful, and sincere. I will be seeing him again!

    Loved Ray!

    by Mike K on 10/6/23Burton Cummings Theatre - Winnipeg

    Enjoyed Tomberlin but found her testy interaction with the crowd diminished her appeal. Ray listened to his fans and played all my favourite songs! My only criticism would be why he would engage Tomberlin to provide female back up on some of his songs.

    A magical evening with a favorite songwriter/singer

    by Ray on 10/5/23Uihlein Hall Marcus Center - Milwaukee

    Ray did not disappoint. He was exactly what we needed, singing, storytelling, entertaining us. We were very disappointed in the crowd, however, particularly a raucus group to our right who yelled, laughed loudly and inappropriately, and generally disturbed an otherwise perfect concert experience.
