Lead Vocals / Guitar

Ray Hernandez

Ray Hernandez is the lead singer and backing guitarist of the band. Ray started playing guitar at young age, taking private lessons from a guitar instructor with an amazing collection of guitars. Aside from the used Epiphone acoustic his parents bought him to learn on, Ray was afforded the opportunity to play on his teacher’s Gibson Hummingbird and was forever hooked to say the least! Ray also took complete command of his parents record player and vinyl collection. Listening to artists like Creedence Clearwater, Buddy Holly, Jimi Hendrix, Bill Withers and Al Green. He later started ‘borrowing’ his sisters albums, expanding his listening compulsion to Queen, Peter Frampton, Led Zeppelin, and of course, Pink Floyd. Ray even recorded both of his sisters’ copies of Dark Side Of The Moon and The Wall onto cassette tapes, which he listened to on headphones day and night. Ray memorized every word, every sound effect, every voice and every nuance of every song! He was forever obsessed!

From a young age, albeit performing in the school choir or impersonating his favorite rock legend, singing came naturally to Ray. Fine attention to detail, however, is what really allowed Ray to craft his voice. With an ear for detail, Ray has dialed in on the little nuances. The phrasing, inflections, and even the English accents that are the makeup of the Pink Floyd vocal. From the shrill of Roger Water’s tortured screams to the warm melodic resonance of David Gilmore’s voice, Ray brings his range and ear for replication of this music to the band to set Eclipsed By The Wall: A Pink Floyd Tribute apart from the rest.
