Merrol Ray

Born and raised in Northeast Texas and Southeast Oklahoma.
Jeremy grew up with a variety of musical influences, ranging from
blues artists such as B.B. King, Buddy Guy, and Stevie Ray
Vaughan to country outlaws like Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and
Johnny Cash. Mix in some 80s metal and punk rock and you can
definitely see where Jeremy's versatile style comes from.
Jeremy started out in the late 90s fronting and playing bass in the
short lived blues/rock trio BRiCK in Southeast Oklahoma. He soon
moved onto Red Light District from Paris, TX at the suggestion of
friend and guitarist TJ Chessire of Fat Dixie. Red Light District would
introduce Jeremy to the music scene in and around Paris, TX where
he would meet the guys he would form the band Level Route with in
2004.
For the next five years, one album, and several members later Level
Route would burn up the roads of Texas and Oklahoma.
In March of 2009, Level Route would call it quits and Jeremy would
move on to join former Level Route drummer Jason Pruett along with
Cade White to form the The Regulators who are to the left, right and
directly behind Merrol Ray.

Jason Pruett was born and raised in Paris, TX, where he found a
love of music that still holds true today. He was inspired by Texas
musicians Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Oklahoma acts
such as Mike McClure. Jason fronted the Paris band Southern Nite
for several years before joining the Ragtown band to play guitar
and sing lead and harmony vocals. Needing a change of pace he
joined up with longtime friends Level Route to play drums and sing
harmony vocals. One top 20 record and one crazy band breakup
later, he found himself on the road and recording with Oklahoma
based Fat Dixie for a short time. Now, It's on to the Merrol Ray
Band and looking forward to what the future holds with "great
music and greater people." he says.

Cade White was raised in Blossom, Texas. He was musically
inspired at an early age by watching his "Pop" Talma Box play
steel guitar, and Uncle Curtis play guitar and sing at family
gatherings. Always the quiet one, Cade's Mom noticed the intense
study and spark in his eye as he listened, and encouraged the
purchase of his first guitar at age twelve. After a few lessons and
listening to guitarists' such as Stevie Ray Vaughn, Joe Walsh, Ted
Nugent, Tommy Shaw and many other artists, Cade's gift was
unearthed and his own music began to flourish. In high school,
Cade performed with the Ag. Talent Team with his brother Cole.
They later joined the band Fm South and played events around
Paris, Tx, until a departure to college for Cole. This left the door
open for Cade to join fellow Blossom boy, Merrol Ray, one of his
"Guitar Heroes", and band brothers Jeremy Key and Jason Pruett
to form Merrol Ray and The Regulators. At the age of eighteen,
Cade feels privileged to be surrounded with the experience and
musical expertise that his band members possess, and looks
forward to what the future holds in his musical career.
