This is a 21 and older event and seating is limited

Come out to Sidewinders to see "Michael Ray" with opening act beginning at 7:30pm. Doors will open Wednesday night March 18th, between 5:30-6:00pm and seating is limited.   This show will last a around 60 minutes. That is unless we show them a "Warm Roanoke Welcome", which entices them to play longer.

Ray will soon complete the journey from tiny Eustis, Florida, to the big time with the release of his first single "Kiss You In The Morning" from his forthcoming Warner Bros. Records album due spring of 2015. He arrives with fans in the know already numbering in the thousands, the ability to sell out large clubs in presale and the promise of a future star. Scott Hendricks, Warner Music Nashville's executive vice president of A&R and Ray's producer, calls Ray "country with an edge."

"Michael, he's got it all," said Hendricks, known for his work with Blake Shelton, Brooks & Dunn and Alan Jackson. "He sings well. He's a really seasoned entertainer. Girls find him not hard to look at. He's got the drive, the motivation, the work ethic, the right attitude going into this thing. He's been great to work with in the studio, just getting better and better every time we're recording. He takes it seriously, and we do have really high hopes for him."

"That was one of the big things that changed everything to me," Ray said. "That was my visual of what I wanted to do." The show was the start of a chain of musical events that would help shape Ray's dynamic, muscular, thoroughly modern sound. "I started watching everything Garth did. And Gary Allan came out with 'It Would Be You.' I started listening to my generation's country. And then I started listening to my generation's punk. And my generation's rock 'n' roll, my generation's R&B, even a little bit of hip-hop. I could relate to all of this stuff."

He started writing his own songs, blending the ragged spirit of those early favorites and the bombastic new sounds of modern country around the turn of the century with pleasing bits and pieces from all over the musical map. What emerges in a thoroughly modern sound that's sonically adventurous, lyrically diverse and over the top on the voltage meter.

"He is all about energy, energy, energy, both in his music and how he presents it on stage," Hendricks said. "There aren't very many moments where you're going to have time to rest when you watch him because there's a lot of energy he's putting out."
