Tulsa-based rock band Manta Rays know how to have a good time. Formed in the summer of 2016 by high-school friends Jackson Gillett (songwriter, lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Britton Gregory (bass, backup vocals) and Tristan Wright (Lead Guitar) Manta Rays later added Tyler Sexton (Drums) to complete the group that sounds like a bridge between the classic songwriting style of the ‘60s and ‘70s with the more contemporary vibes of new age indie and Brit-rock. While Gillett’s lyrics on their 2019 debut album ‘Dust’ are often introspective they carry the weight of growing up in an increasingly-strange world with a lighthearted charm that is impossible to resist; both on the record and at their consistently packed-out live shows. Manta Ray’s are now working on their second studio album, perfecting their craft.
