MERRY CHRISTMAS
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I was so blessed to be able to have my parents here for almost a week for the holiday. It's the first time my dad has been here since we moved from Ohio 3 years ago. We had a wonderful time, showed them many of the sights and did some Christmas at Cheekwood Gardens & The Gaylord Hotel.
I always say I'm going to slow down, but then opportunities come up and it just ends up being a busy month again. I'm not complaining one bit! I love it and I'm so grateful for each time I get to share my music.
My band "422 West" had the amazing fortune to play at Tuck's Bar in Minor Hill, Tn over Thanksgiving weekend. It was the best stage we've been on so far. Chuck and his wife are the sweetest people I've met and made us feel so welcome. Best of all, they liked the band so much, he asked us to play for their anniversary on Dec. 21st. It's a lil drive from Nashville, but it is so worth it and we'd love to pack the place for Chuck! The band has 3 gigs in December and we are super stoked to play. We'll be at Momma Pam's on Dec. 14th, Tucks Bar on Dec. 21st and Wynot Saloon on Dec. 28th..please make plans to come see one of the shows. I promise, you'll have a great time!
I'm playing a couple new venues this month that I'm excited about. Bubble Joy at the Parlor in Leipers Fork, Wedge Pizza & Pub and Our Spot in Gallatin.
Adrienne wrote her first song, a Christmas tune with Alexis Knight. I helped by fine tuning it and getting music put to the lyrics. It will debut at our Bad Axe Christmas show on Dec. 23rd. They did a great job coming up with a catchy song for the holidays!
Back in the recording studio this month for a new song "Preacher's Daughter." We've received quite a bit of great feedback on this tune and I'm excited to get it out to the world. Look for it's release to come pretty soon!
"In a world where much of the music industry is driven by trends and fleeting moments of fame, Bobby Ray stands as a beacon of authenticity and enduring talent. His music is a reminder of the power of genuine storytelling and the impact it can have on listeners from all walks of life. As he continues to make waves in Nashville and beyond, one thing is clear: for Bobby Ray, it's always something special."
The "Live in the Living Room" shows are now on YouTube! We have a playlist with the recent videos available on my channel. Check them out! We are having a blast making them and getting to know the songwriters of Nashville. We only have one this month due to all the festivities, but it's gonna be a great one. Dec. 3rd Chase Stetson will be live with me on Facebook to talk about his new band! We start at 6:30 pm. Make sure to tune in on Facebook live. Check out the links to their instagram pages below. And if you miss it, go check out our YouTube playlist, like, follow etc! We really do appreciate it.
If you haven't already, please check out Bobby Ray Music on Instagram and Facebook. We appreciate all the likes and follows we can get.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Without the streams, follows, likes etc...my music wouldn't be out there. 2024 has been a great year and I'm looking ahead to 2025!
Please check out the BuzzSlayer review of my album (link above).
"This album boasts some great songwriting that has touches of Southern Soul to it but also keeps to this folk-rock undertone and as you listen through the songs you begin to become attached to the record."
KEEP ROCKING...........BOBBY RAY
