The Hamilton Live Presents 'Ray on My Mind' Jan. 18

Join master pianist & vocalist Kenny Brawner and his band of accomplished performers for a tribute to the life and legacy of Ray Charles on Saturday, January 18, 2020.

Ray on My Mind brings the music and the story of the great Ray Charles to vivid life. Portraying Ray, master pianist/vocalist, Kenny Brawner leads his 11 piece orchestra and three sultry vocalists (a la the Raelettees), will perform this American legend’s most popular hits: “What’d I Say?”, “I Got A Woman”, “Mess Around”, “Georgia On My Mind”, a blazing hot duet on “Baby It’s Cold Outside”, 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.
