Michael Ray
with special guest Jon Langston
For Michael Ray, music is his grandfather singing and sweating on a rural Florida stage. It鈥檚 the childhood refuge he found during the pain of his parent's divorce. It鈥檚 family and stories, history and hope. Ray says music saved him, but it did even more: Music made him. Ray has built an impressive foundation: four No. 1 songs 鈥 RIAA Platinum-certified 鈥淭hink a Little Less,鈥 RIAA Platinum-certified 鈥淲hiskey And Rain,鈥 RIAA Gold-certified 鈥淜iss You in the Morning,鈥 RIAA Gold-certified 鈥淥ne That Got Away鈥 鈥 plus 鈥淕et to You鈥 and 鈥淗er World or Mine,鈥 brings his tally to four Gold-certified singles. Ray has garnered over 1 billion global streams, over 650,000 album equivalents, over 150 million YouTube views, and has performed at the Grand Ole Opry over 65 times. Two hit albums into that all-too-rare blend of critically acclaimed and commercially successful career, Ray released Higher Education. Proof that heartbroken wallowing can feel good if it swings, 鈥淲hiskey And Rain鈥 marked his first multi-week No. 1, cementing Ray as the ideal bridge between vintage country cool and modern country鈥檚 best sounds. Ray recently released The Bootleggers Sessions, which features classic country covers, including Tracy Lawrence鈥檚 鈥淭ime Marches On,鈥 George Strait鈥檚 鈥淭he Chair鈥 and Randy Travis鈥檚 鈥淭hree Wooden Crosses,鈥 following The Warehouse Sessions, of live performances of songs from Higher Education. Ray is gearing up to release more new music this spring and is currently in the studio with award-winning producer Michael Knox.
