Bio: Paul William Ray
As a young boy growing up in Melbourne, Paul would be blasting Kiss or Iron Maiden out of the stereo. An early appreciation of tennis raquet guitars and the rock pose held him in good stead for the musician he is today. He has played many gigs locally as well as touring interstate and internationally. In 2005, Paul toured Europe as guitarist with original ac/dc singer Dave Evans. The job was a brilliant experience of life on the road and a lesson in the excess' of the rock and roll lifestyle.
Currently, Paul is performing as a solo artist. His previous country/rock band ‘The Falconz’ released two cd’s on the Northerly Records label earning them a award nomination at the Tamworth Country Music Festival a top ten spot in the Herald-Sun best releases of 04'.
A wide range of musical influences have instilled a creative yet familiar sound to Paul’s songwriting. Contemporaries such as Keith Urban, Ryan Adams, and Eric Luoma continue to inspire. 2009 sees the anticipated release of his debut solo release 'Last Drinks, One More Night'.

Bio: Ray Hall & Steel
RHS formed over drinks at Melbournes Hard Rock Cafe in October 2006. The trio comprising of Paul William Ray (vocals/guitar), Michael Hall (drums/vocals), and Darren Steel (bass/vocals) called the Hard Rock home playing there almost every Saturday night and for various functions from November 06' to October 07'. The boys were also starring in their TV ad campaign. The RHS covers show now extends itself to corporate functions, weddings, and various other pubs/clubs in and around Melbourne
With a massive songlist branching out over five decades (incl. Elvis, Roy Orbison, Rolling Stones, Inxs, U2, Pink, King Of Leon), the boys put on one hell of a show. The versatility of RHS to play acoustic style gigs as well as bringing out the big rock show suits many venues and if you are not having a good time at the RHS show you had better check your pulse.
