Jonray, a Houston-born fifth generation Texan and multi-instrumentalist, and Barbara, a business-savvy lover of theatre who grew upbetween Mexico and Austin, create freely and without limits, using their worldlymelodies and lyrics to shine a restorative, hopeful light for those who need it. Currently Moonray is gearing up to release their new album Digital Moon, whichwas self-produced and recorded in Austin and Los Angeles and will be releasedunder their own label, Satellite Records. Passionately crafted over the course of thepast three years, Digital Moon is a colorful, sparkling collection that reflects theduo’s growth and maturity as a band. “The songs are each little moonbeams in adigital format that we hope share light with others,” Moonray says. “The name‘Moonray’ came about while on a camping trip. We looked up and noticed how themoon carried the light and reflected down on us on the pathway we were on. Sincethen, our mission became to try to create songs that will bring a sense of joy andnostalgia while pulling out of the dark into the night. Out of fear as you step into thenight.” Digital Moon is scheduled for release in fall 2019. Less
