Rita Ray is a Estonian small-town girl whose vocal chords are hardened by a decade in choir singing, spirit toughened by city life and a foundation built in jazz studies. She’s the first contemporary soul diva to rise from the post-Soviet state. Her soul-stirring shows have yet to leave a heart cold – she’ll have you in her palm to deliver tender melodies, irony-filled lyrics, catchy riffs and disco-stomping sessions.
