BetaRay

Formed in 2018 by Dan Maynard and Chris Howells, BetaRay is a 5-piece reggae rock band based in Denver, CO. Influenced by bands like Iration and Ballyhoo!, BetaRay brings pop vibes to the reggae rock genre to create a sound that makes people want to dance and have fun! Melodies and lyrics that make you want to sing along, guitar riffs that get stuck in your head, and rhythms that make you want to move——this is what defines BetaRay. 

BetaRay's first official release, a 5-song self-titled EP, was released in the Summer of 2022, and it can be found on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, and other major streaming services. A single titled "True Direction" was released in August of 2024. 

BetaRay has shared the stage with many great bands in the different reggae genres, including Passafire, Fortunate Youth, Bumpin Uglies, Tomorrow’s Bad Seeds, Fayuca, EN Young, Arise Roots. Bikini Trill, and Los Stellarians. 

BetaRay is singer/guitarist Dan Maynard, guitarist Chris Howells, keyboardist Sam Caudill, bass player Joshua Keene, and drummer Kyle Norwood.
