Grant Ray Solo Vocalist and performer covering everything from oldies to top 40

I require basic outlets for my PA system, basic lights if possible and storage for my equipment baggage

I need to know the timeframe of events on the day of the gig, instructions on entering the venue on the day of the gig, beginning and end times, payment methods, breaks/meals provided and keep people to ask for at venue on gig day

Yes I bring my own pa and lighting as needed

Yes I am happy to play music before and after sets as needed.

As a longtime professional in the business, I have done many types of gigs, both as the front man for many corporate and wedding bands, and as a solo entertainer for country clubs, and other venues. I would say my favorite gig to date would be a gig that I did for a 1920s famed event at a local private club. The players club in Florida, Florida. the response I got from the crowd was absolutely amazing and I must’ve had well over 100 people on the dance floor for most of the event to the point where I had to stay overtime because of the demand of the amazing patrons of the event

I love playing all types of events, but I would have to say corporate country club. Events and weddings are my favorite. I always fail at home at these type of events and I feel the ambience at said events matches my personal demeanor the best.

I have been in the business for a very long time and even before I started gigging professionally live. I was an indie music artist, releasing studio albums, doing small tourist and performing locally as well as other states including Florida New York and Atlanta, Georgia. I started gigging professionally in 2015 and have done every type of venue imaginable from casinos bars, restaurants, stadiums, country, clubs, festivals, weddings, you name it I have done it both solo and as the front man of many high profile, corporate and wedding bands in Florida

I am a music person through and through. I grew up listening to everything from old days to soul blues rock country jazz pop 80s top 40 you name it I loved it. I drew influence from all of the genres, but always connected vocally to the soul and R&B styles That I absolutely loved. My goal early was to infuse the sofa vocal styling of the music. I loved to other genres, and I adapted that method which became my signature style and my work both solo and with the bands whom I have worked with and my professional career.

I normally arrive two hours before the performance to set up. I typically perform one to two hours first take a small break and then perform another one to two hours as needed, but this is all based on what the venue and event planners would prefer.

I am happy to play outside, but I would ask for shade a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area if possible

I can learn specific songs before the event, but I usually limit this to five songs. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from my repertoire or let me choose them.

Previous customers were describe me as a high energy performer that loves to get the audience on their feet dancing. I have been told I am one of the best singers in Florida and one of the best singers. A lot of my clients have ever had the pleasure of listening to. I strive to bring professional professionalism and the best quality possible to every event I partake in and I have gotten nothing but excellent feedback from my clients

There is something for up tempo and down tempo lovers in my repertoire
