The JOURNEY
Established in 2017. Justin Ra is a solo artist from St. Louis, MO. Playing and live-looping vocals with various instruments including: didgeridoo, djembe, guitar, keyboard, performing original songs. He blends uplifting melodies with grooving, syncopated rhythms, deep earthy tones and a feel good all-around sound he likes to call “Galactic Jungle Music”.
"Ra is ready to stake his claim as a solo artist with a psychedelic folk soundscape supporting lyrics that are interested in transcendence, unity, and the unburdening of excess baggage."
-Christian Schaeffer, Riverfront Times
"Age Of The Spirit is a great album and I was thrilled to have had his album release show at Blueberry Hill. His vocals are appealing and always on key. He has a wonderful, unique sound and lively stage performances."
-Joe Edwards (Duke of Delmar) Legendary Delmar Loop developer and owner of Blueberry Hill & The Pageant, St. Louis, MO.
"Justin Ra's music is unique and exotic. This guy's going places."
- Ray Hartmann, The Big 550 KTRS
“Justin Ra weaves a rich, organic, percussive tapestry of sound in interesting and dynamic ways, bridging the gap between new age music and rock and roll. He is always positive in nature, but his music bites as well…”
