Michael Ray scheduled to perform Sept. 1 during Maries County Fair

Posted

Country music star, Michael Ray, is scheduled to headline and perform at Thursday Night Live on Sept. 1 at the 76th Annual Maries County Fair in Vienna. 

A Florida native, for Michael Ray, music is his grandfather singing and sweating on a rural Florida stage. It’s the childhood refuge he found during the pain of his parents’ divorce. It’s family and stories, history and hope. Ray says music saved him, but it did even more: Music made him. 

In five short years, Ray has built an impressive foundation: four number one songs – Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) Platinum-certified “Think a Little Less,” RIAA Gold-certified “Kiss You in the Morning,” RIAA Gold-certified “One That Got Away” and RIAA Gold-certified “Whiskey And Rain,” plus “Get to You” and “Her World or Mine,” brings his tally to five Gold-certified singles. 

Ray also has garnered over one billion global streams, over 650,000 album equivalents, over 100 million YouTube views and has performed at the Grand Ole Opry over 60 times. 

Now, two hit albums into that all-too-rare blend of critically acclaimed and commercially successful career, Ray has released Higher Education, a seven-song collection produced by GRAMMY-nominated producer Ross Copperman. Proof that heartbroken wallowing can feel good if it swings, “Whiskey And Rain” marked his first multi-week number one, cementing Ray as the ideal bridge between vintage country cool and modern country’s best sounds.
