Linen Ray

Ten years ago, Rebekah and Gabriel Craft of married folk-rock duo Linen Ray found themselves living parallel lives as musicians. At night, while Gabriel was out gigging as an in-demand pro drummer, Rebekah would compose songs in the privacy of their bedroom. Each didn’t realize their romantic life partner was also their musical soulmate. Coming together, the two discovered untapped artistic potential.

Today, Linen Ray has emerged a critically-acclaimed folk-rock/Americana band that is releasing its second studio album on May 13, 2022. On The Mend is an earthy but elegant 12-song album produced in close collaboration with longtime artistic ally British producer Patrick Jordan (Young Rebel Set, Cattle & Cane, Matt Wilde). It’s inspired by hope, healing, and the couple’s new hometown of Nashville, Tennessee.

Linen Ray pulls influences from 1970s Laurel Canyon folk-pop, 1960s and 1970s rock, alt-country and traditional country, and gospel. The duo has previously released a studio album, a keepsake live album, an EP, and a series of singles leading up to On The Mend. In addition, Rebekah appears on Patrick Jordan’s solo album, Silver Linings. Recent career highlights include the single "Love Ain't Easy" being chosen as Lt. Dan's DJ Pick of the Week on Nashville's Lightning 100, and the song being selected to appear on Relix March 2022 CD Sampler as an artist-winning entry. The couple have also been featured in Authority Magazine as rising Nashville stars.
