Ray Cooper, a.k.a. Chopper, is a story based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist living in Sweden. Previously with Oysterband, Ray has released 5 solo albums and completed over 40 solo international tours.

On stage Ray sings and plays cello, guitar, mandolin, piano and harmonica. Ray's music straddles folk, Americana, world, rock and the singer-songwriter tradition, drawing on his wide experience in all these areas, from playing ceilidh music or rocking out on festival stages with Oysterband, to playing Swedish folk music in the local Sörmland tradition where he lives.

Ray's latest album 'Even For A Shadow', released in 2024, was nominated for album of the year for the German music critics prize. 'Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik'.

“Even For A Shadow is a sublime singer-songwriter album from Ray Cooper ... this music has the always relevant attitude, with many a melody to burn.” Folking.com
