About Ray LaMontagne
Ray LaMontagne emerged from Lewiston, Maine in the early 2000s with a voice that stopped people in their tracks — a raw, soulful instrument that draws comparisons to Van Morrison, Otis Redding, and Tim Buckley. His debut album earned critical acclaim and established him as one of the most compelling singer-songwriters of his generation. Over a career spanning multiple albums, LaMontagne has explored folk, rock, Americana, and psychedelic territory while always maintaining the emotional authenticity that defines his work. He is a Grammy Award winner known for intensely focused live performances that prioritize the music above all else.

LaMontagne live is an experience that demands your full presence, and he rewards it richly. The voice is even more powerful in person — it fills a room or an amphitheater with a warmth and texture that recordings only partially capture. His setlists draw from across his catalog, and each song receives the kind of careful, focused performance that reminds you why live music matters. At Artpark in late September, with the gorge catching the last light of a fading summer, this is going to be one of the most atmospheric concerts of the year. Absolutely worth the trip. The September setting at Artpark, with golden autumn light over the gorge, is going to be absolutely stunning. LaMontagne’s music and that natural backdrop are a match made in heaven.
