My name is Ray Beltran. I've been playing harmonica for about 22 years in the style of Chicago, West Coast Jump and Gospel Blues.

I've been fortunate to open for James Cotton, Kim Wilson,
Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, James Harman, Rusty Zinn, Popa Chubby,
Chris Cain and Roy Rogers, among others.

I've had the opportunity to teach alongside harmonica greats
Richard Sleigh and Dennis Gruenling.


Originally from California, I now make my home in Salem, Oregon
and perform all around the great Pacific Northwest; Northern California,
Oregon and Washington.

Visit my newly updated "Music" page for sound files.
