More juicy dance and music events with
Elijah Ray

What is SoundLight?
Different from his more upbeat dance-able anthems he plays in the "Band of Light", Elijah's SoundLight +E-xperience is best described as a spacious, symphonic, improvisational sound healing journey...the music and tones he sings and creates provide a live soundtrack that invite you as the listener to go deep into your self, to melt, to expand, to stretch, to feel... to experience union...when it comes to sacred world music, Elijah Ray's SoundLight music is a league of it's own.
Have a listen to a recent SoundLight +E-xperience here: http://elijahandthebandoflight.bandcamp.com/album/soundlight-volume-2 and Here: http://elijahandthebandoflight.bandcamp.com/album/soundlight-volume-3 |

Here's what some of our friends from around the world have to say about +Elijah- and the Band of Light:
"+E-xperiencing Elijah and The Band of Light live is the most awe-inspiring, amazing, light, and love-filled gift you can give yourself! It is pure BLISS!"
~ Linda Phillips Smith
"My heart rejoices when I hear the music of +Elijah- and the Band of Light. Wonderful soul food :)"
~ Daniel Shai
"Heaven on earth, literally ♥ music that brings you deep within and music that makes you want to celebrate life. Thank you for sharing your gifts and talent with the world."
~ Summer Johnson
"Elijah - Before I met you I heard I needed to experience your vibe from a dear guide of mine. When I happened across your set at the Octoberfest party in Kilauea '09 I was lifted, boosted, filled with love and overjoyed to actually dance and play! It was a heart opening experience. Each time I am able to come be a part of the energy your music brings I am lifted from whatever positive or negative feelings I might be experiencing and placed into a bubble of healing love. With uplifting and positively driven vocals your music has the potential to be accepted by people from diverse social and religious paths. It's cheesy, upbeat, playful and a reminder of being a kid in all the right ways.
To differentiate the 'Band of Light' experiences from your Soundlight experiences is a must! These deeply moving meditational journeys cradle the soul in a nest of safe, moving soundscapes that bring the body and mind to a still point while allowing the heart to rise. The use of your voice to create textures within rhythmic patterns is a joy to witness. Combined with a talent for playing several instruments and melding the soft tones of the guitar, djembe and flute provides a container for the energy of your being to be clearly witnessed and shared.
Thank you for putting so much love and energy into being who you are. It shows in all the right ways."
~ Thomas Wyse
"This music is sound healing 100 %.... every time I experience Elijah , I am re-connected to a high vibration of energy that helps bring me back to a state of well-being. I feel joy, happiness, and so blissed out! When doing energy work on others, I love to play "The Void"... it opens people to a deep place of releasing old beliefs, creating a place of new belief systems... connecting them back to Source. It is truly a blessing to know, and experience Elijah, and all that he does. He is a True LightWorker! ♥
~ Nina Kirby
"I go to the park and free flow dance to the live album in my ear buds........in public. (never did that before attending Eden Unplugged with Ali Shanti and Elijah Ray's Band Of Light.) Thanks for co-creating!"
~ Joshua Gribschaw-Beck
"The music of +Elijah- and the Band of Light reminds me of the love that I am, no matter what is going on in my life. Listening to the CD in the car is an immediate uplift to my day + brings me to presence. A live E+xperience is beyond the beyond. All I can say about it is ... get to one so you can experience it for yourself and see what I mean. Love, love, love!"
~ Ali Shanti
"YES YES YES!"
~ Annie Yazdani
"Elijah's music is a balm for the soul, the sound of sunshine, insanely positive and uplifting... what's not to love? Elijah's music is among the most positive, uplifting and joyful music I've ever heard. He goes straight for the joy button and presses it really hard. The only thing missing from his live performances are teal wigs, back-up dancers, laser light shows and a dash of blonde ambition... Other than that, Elijah is a performance not to be missed!"
~ Wahkeena Sitka
"I know it's straight from the Heart because I know Elijah. The music is straight from Heaven."
~ Finn Jeff Wayman
"The positive energy of the universe magnified and focused through an instrument, released as beauty, peace and love...Dance is the only adequate description of the Music!"
~ Caroline Pearson

Elijah Ray Bio
A prodigious composer, singer, multi-instrumentalist, recording artist and spiritual teacher, Elijah Ray is known for his pioneering heart and transformational music that crosses a wide scope of genres...from funky, danceable tunes and soul-moving ballads, to sound healing and emotionally evocative soundtracks. His shining presence, gritty soul, and message of love invite the listener into an experience of what it is to be an awakening human. His spiritual messages of authenticity and the power of community have transformed audiences internationally, and many are calling his music the "soundtrack of the awakening." Both mystical and raw, Elijah’s charisma and musical prowess draws his audience into life’s nectar--spiritual, sexy, sweaty, gritty, and ecstatic. Elijah has single handedly crafted a full band sound on most of his "Band of Light" albums, playing most of the instruments and arranging many of the tracks himself. He has also mastered the art of solo touring--a troubadour with his guitar, vocal repertoire of percussion, horns, and bass, and a loop pedal, crafting everything from hip-hop to pop to soul.
Over the past 13 years, Elijah has played and collaborated with countless acclaimed artists and musicians. A few of which he’s shared the stage with are: Jesse Carmichael (Maroon 5) Graham Nash, Andre Manga (Paul Simon) Ben Stiller, Donovon Frankenreiter, G Love, Brett Dennon, Bushwalla, the Luminaries, Tina Malia, Youssouphe Sidibe, Tubby Love, Jay ‘Bird” Koder, Michael Ruff, and many more.
Elijah has been featured in documentaries such as Indigo Evolution, and Living in Light, alongside such luminaries as Neale Donald Walsh, Dr. Matsuro Emoto, Doreen Virtue, Gangaji, Eli Jaxson-Bear and Panache Desai. He has cultivated an international community, www.bandoflight.ning, and plans to continue touring internationally, offering full scale concerts, sound healing sessions and workshops, soul coaching programs, and community events the world over.
