Matin Tour | KNOXVILLE, TN + Opener, Emily McCoy

Sunday, July 06, 2025 to Monday, July 07, 2025

Join Jess Ray on the Matin Tour, an evening shaped by the songs that have defined her latest musical season. Emily McCoy will be opening.

MATIN is a four-album series of quiet songs and hymns recorded at sunrise. The Matin Tour will be peaceful and honest evenings of creativity and connection, that feel sonically familiar for those who listen to the MATIN project. 

A singer-songwriter, producer, and creative voice rooted in North Carolina, Jess Ray creates music for those who are searching — blending innovative sounds with meditations on life, faith, and the human experience.

Over the past decade, Jess' path has carried her through a wide range of spaces — from house concerts to historic venues like the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, and from solo performances to collaborations with some of her musical heroes.

With every song, she draws from a deep well of influences, creating music that leaves a lasting imprint on the heart. There’s a place for everyone in Jess’ community of friendly-folk music. You’re invited to come as you are, to listen, to sing, and to share in a night that feels both deeply personal and beautifully communal.
