QUESO RA
Queso Ra covers a lot of music by claiming Americana. You will hear some soul, folk, the blues, blue grass, jazz, and rock n’ roll. With three singer/songwriters coming together to form this super group you will hear many influences blended together with a joyful spirit. You will enjoy original compositions featuring thick harmonies, groovy bass and drums, and extended fiddle and guitar jams.
Queso Ra has shared their music at many events, from family gatherings in backyards to large festival stages. Their live show is built to take the listener on a journey, quiet moments of intense emotion will ebb and flow against powerful declarations of joy! Anyone listening gets to leave with a bit of that joy, and can maintain it by whistling or humming that one lick the fiddle played.

Queso Ra’s story:
Queso Ra met in 2022 while playing open mics in Longmont, CO. They started jamming together and never stopped. The first year as a band was spent learning a new set of covers for almost every show-Dusty Springfield, The Flaming Lips, CCR, Pixies, Stevie Wonder, Sublime, James Brown, Nina Simone, The Cure, INXS, The Zombies, the list goes on. But original music began to creep into the set.
By 2023 Queso Ra had become a staple in their local music scene, playing many shows leading up to that summer where Queso Ra toured through Colorado, Texas and Louisiana, playing their original music. Ending on stage at the 88th Annual Shrimp and Petroleum Festival in Morgan City, Louisiana.
Queso Ra spent 2024 writing, recording and releasing their debut album. It is now available wherever you listen to music. 2025 will feature more new original music, and a limited run of shows.
