Born: 12 April 1964 Georgia, United States
Amy Elizabeth Ray (born April 12, 1964 in Decatur, Georgia, U.S.), is a

After a year at Vanderbilt, Ray returned to the Atlanta area to continue her
education at Emory University. Ray graduated from Emory in 1986 with majors in
English and Religion.
On March 6, 2001 she released her first solo album, Stag, a southern and punk

Bleyle (bass). Jody was replaced with Tara Jane O'Neil in October because Jody
was on maternity leave. Ray called this new band the Volunteers.
