New York-based band Charlie and the Rays, is lead by two sisters Rebecca (22, rhythm guitar/vocals) and Jordan Stobbe (25, bass guitar/vocals), and friends Patrick Hagan (drums), and Ian LeSage (lead guitar). Their music melds traditional folk with contemporary rock. Forming as buskers on the streets of Pike Place Market in Seattle, the sisters played covers of their inspirations including Peter, Paul, and Mary and Simon and Garfunkel. The band highlights powerful female vocal harmonies, exuberant guitar licks and McCartney-esque basslines, creating a new take on a classic sound.
