Jackie West & Raybody

Raybody (fka Katy Rea) writes classic singer-songwriter shit that gets weird. Her voice is endlessly dynamic—feral and tough in its nurturing. Backed by Andrew Forman (Guitar: Daryl Johns, Nick Hakim) and Ethan Kogan (Pinc Louds,) the trio moves between cinematic extremes. Her bandmates—jazz artists steeped in NYC’s experimental and indie rock scenes—interpret her songs with a range that’s both crushing and soaring. It’s the sound of a woman at work: maniacal, but warm. Past bills with: Little Wings, Mei Semones, Allegra Kreiger, Being Dead, Lily Seabird, Bartees Strange, You Bet, Florry, & more. Jackie West NYC <-> Hudson Valley – based musician. Released sophomore album Feb 27. 2026 “Silent Century” and debut album ‘Close To The Mystery’ via Ruination Records, May 2024. “It’s me, baby, you”, Jackie West sings on the opening track of her new record, Silent Century. Like a hall of mirrors, West’s sophomore record unfolds like a playful conversation between the artist and herself. Throughout the course of Silent Century, they confront head on “the ones that are telling us ‘don’t speak’, uncovering their voice, seductive and surprising, no longer silent.
