Ravary Live at the Taproom

Steel String Brewery’s weekly local artist spotlight series – Steel String Sessions – this Sunday afternoon featuring Ravary.

Ravary is the solo-with-friends project of NC musician Justin Ravary Ellis (Slow Teeth, Easter Island, Happy Abandon, etc). The project released its debut album “Hands To Feel” independently in June 2020 after nearly five years of writing and two years of recording in between tours with other groups, changing jobs, and moving houses. Born in London and having spent the summers of his formative years with French-speaking family near Montreal, Ravary’s music is equally inspired by the synths and guitars of the 90’s Britpop as the large folky hooks of Arcade Fire and traditional Quebecois and North Carolinian folk music. A follow-up single “Glowing” followed in 2022, with its companion EP, “Almanac”, released in early 2025. This collection of songs was recorded by Jay Nemeyer and Kyle Downes at Sunday Coffee in Washington DC and features Justin on all instruments; a first in his career. Ravary’s music has been featured on NPR’s “All Songs Considered” and WUNC Music. Three songs (“I Know What It Is I Want”, “Finally”, and “Glowing”) are regularly in rotation on local radio stations. The live band consists of a rotating cast of close friends and collaborators that changes nearly every show.
