Michael Ray Continues Headline Trek In 2017

The new dates start Jan. 20 in Harrisburg, Penn., and continue for about a month, ending in Savannah, Ga., Feb. 18. Ray is also playing The Great Escape Cancun getaway in the midst of that run.

He also is set to play CMC Rocks in Australia next year and the Tortuga and Country Thunder music festivals.

The next town to get a chance to see Michael Ray is Knoxville, Tenn., as he plays Cotton Eyed Joe on Nov. 18. He also has a previously announced gig with Cotton Eyed Joe Dec. 9 in Grand Prairie, Texas.

Michael Ray was nominated for the American Country Countdown Award for Breakthrough Male of the Year in 2016 and has a single, “Think a Little Less” currently on the charts. That and his other two hits, “Kiss You in the Morning” and “Real Men Love Jesus,” are on his eponymous 2015 album.

The things Ray has going for him are his youthful energy and his rich voice. Check out his cover of Merle Haggard’s “Today I Started Loving You Again” below:
