Beths life would look pretty great on paper. Impressive to everyone she grew up with.  She makes a good living as a wine distributor. Shes in a long-term relationship with a successful guy and lives in Manhattan. When a sudden incident forces Beth to engage with her past, her life changes forever. Through flashbacks to her teen self, Beth starts to learn how she became who she is and who she wants to become. Well go on her journey towards building a bigger, bolder and more authentic life. Learning to express herself and living in an intentional way. A trip down memory lane is a strong source of trauma, comedy and moving forward.

Says Angry: Making the score with an incredible group of musicians such as a Eric Harland, Ben Williams, Sean Jones, Myron Walden, Nir Felder, Paul ‘PapaBear’ Johnson and the incredible Bridget Everett, who sang the hell out of Blue Bayou, was a winning recipe for an amazing experience. Its been an honor being a co-composer on Life & Bethwith Timo Elliston. It has been a dream to work with Amy Schumer, who is an awesome human being.

Notes Timo: “’Life & Bethgave me the opportunity to reunite with my old friend Ray Angry. Ray and I came up together as pianists in the Washington, DC area.”

“One thing that makes the score to ‘Life & Beth’ unique is the way it incorporates jazz. Usually, jazz in a score is treated in a comedic way. But in ‘Life & Beth,’ even though it’s a funny show, the jazz serves a deeper, more dramatic role, rather than just being an accent to a punchline.”

In the midst of his near three decades of blissful productivity at the service of others, Ray has finally recorded his long-awaited first album as a leader, simply titled Ray Angry One. “Music is meant to inspire and bring about change,” Angry explains. “It’s also meant to make you think about who you are as a person and the meaning of your existence. Music is a powerful tool. Why not use it to connect the world? It doesn’t have to be an elitist thing. To me, it’s like, ‘Listen, I have an idea. Let’s explore it.’ Ray Angry One is a playlist of what I love about music…music being all about energy, camaraderie and community.”
