Sweet Ray Laurel is an all original rock band from Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky.  SRL is an adventurous band with surprises around every corner and live shows that will unite any crowd of any background.   We excel in a unique mix of post punk, reggae, and psychedelic rock.  Our goals are to continually move forward with our music and stand out from the average rock band. 

“Sweet Ray Laurel, an epic Indie blend from Cincinnati, Ohio."  … "SRL is hard for me to label, which is usually the sign of a really unique sound. I really love this band and a couple of their tracks are now on Signal 9”
-Signal 9 Radio

“I’m a recent Sweet Ray Laurel convert. Their swirling mix of post-punk, reggae, and psychedelic music feels vaguely gypsy-mystic to me. I love that it’s a not-too-comfortable fit. The tunes are a constant lesson in discovery as I revel in yet another layer or sound or lyric I missed the last go-round.”
-Hal Newman - Big Medicine
