RAY ON MY MIND

RAY ON MY MIND
Saturday, January 15, 2022 – 8 pm

This concert/theater work brings the music and the story of the great Ray Charles to vivid life! Portraying Ray, master pianist/vocalist Kenny Brawner leads his 12-piece orchestra and three sultry vocalists (à la the Raelettes), performing the American legend’s most popular hits: “What’d I Say?,” “I Got A Woman,” “Mess Around,” “Georgia On My Mind,” and many more! The music is interwoven with monologues depicting how gospel, blues, jazz and country influenced Ray’s style, while also reflecting on American social history, his epic battle with drugs, and his triumphant return home to Georgia.
