Ray Adkins


As co-founder of the Manatees, Adkins wrote songs and appeared on their first CD “High Water.” He left that band to pursue a solo career, releasing “Restoration” in 1993 and “Atma Gita” in 1996. In the last four years, Adkins has focused on songwriting via co-writing and songwriting roundtables. The result has been 16-20 songs that he is currently recording with a core line-up of Michael Radcliffe on bass (Robert Hazard, Flock of Seagulls and Chubby Checker) and Neil Simpkins on drums (Frank’s Soda commercial with Patty Smyth and producer/drummer for Patsy Foster’s “Long Cold War”).
