Paris Ray is thrilled to be returning for her 13th Montauk Music Festival! She feels she’s grown up at this festival over the years, and is so grateful for the support of this community. Paris started her journey in the entertainment industry as a child actress, appearing on iCarly, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Wendy’s commercials, Guiding Light, All My Children and many off broadway productions. She segued into music her sophomore year of high school, when she taught herself guitar and started writing songs for open mics and talent shows. Her passion grew, and she eventually studied songwriting in college as a student in SUNY Purchase’s music conservatory BFA program. Now she is living the dream as full time musician, gigging across Long Island 6 nights a week at different venues. She was named Best Local Musician by Dan’s Paper & Bethpage Best of Long Island the last two years and has had the honor of opening for legends like Katrina of Katrina & The Waves and Jon Herrington of Steely Dan. Paris Ray released her debut studio album, Clementine, last March and is consistently writing and recording singles with her band, Paris Ray & The Crush. She cannot wait to perform for you all this summer!
