The Southgate House was the venue. The band was the beloved local favorite Ray’s Music Exchange. The reason was for the Second Annual Ray’s Music Exchange Ray-Union. After last year’s very successful First Annual Ray’s Music Exchange Reunion at Play by Play Cafe, the men of Ray’s couldn’t resist to deliver its fans another memorable evening of music. Not only did the members of Ray’s Music Exchange get together to perform at the Southgate House this past Saturday, they made it an extra special evening for the fans. The show was also the party to celebrate the release of the first ever Ray’s Music Exchange full length DVD. The band recorded last year’s reunion at Play by Play and produced a DVD that was available at the show, and now throughout many Cincinnati independent music stores. There were many artists involved in this year’s Ray’s Music Exchange annual Ray-Union performance. The Noble Visions offers a look into the incredible night of music. Images are in order of appearance.

Hey Josh, Great photos of a super fun night. Just so you know, Brian Hogg was listed on the poster but was unable to do the show so Paul Batchelor-Glader (Brian’s Brother) helped us out and played Bari sax.
Thank Brad! Thank you for an incredible performance on Saturday. It’s always a great time and definitely a pleasure to photograph you guys! Looking forward to next year!

Incredible shots…brings it all back. I would buy and frame that black and white of Blasky on the bass …vivid shadows..en fuego
Thank you Matt! Much appreciated! Had a blast with everyone and running around shooting. I’ll look into getting a series of these Ray’s shots into my next gallery showing. The Blasky image you speak of is another one of my favorites from the night. I’ll definitely let you know when this series gets printed. Thanks for stopping by!!
