Ray’s Music Exchange to have 2nd Annual Reunion Show and DVD release at Southgate House Saturday, October 8.

Cincinnati’s own jam/funk/jazz ambassadors, Ray’s Music Exchange, will reunite with RME alumni along with many special guests on October 8th for an epic night of music to celebrate the release of their first live concert DVD “A Live Rayunion”.



Cincinnati – Ray’s Music Exchange has become a Cincinnati Jazz/funk/groove institution whose legend, roster of past musicians, and influence spreads from coast to coast. After the success of last year’s inaugural Ray’s Reunion Show, the first live show from the band in 5 years, yielded both excited fans and reinvigorated band members as well as a forthcoming DVD of the show, they have decided to make the reunion an annual event. This reunion will feature songs from the Ray’s Music Exchange catalog as well as musical tributes and covers of their musical heroes like Miles Davis, Frank Zappa, The Beatles, Steely Dan, Stevie Wonder and more. The band this year will feature members from past Ray’s Music Exchange albums/lineups as well as some new faces and special guests. Complete with lighting and visual stimulation from Big Bang Productions, this show is not to be missed.
