   About Rays Music Exchange
Ray's Music Exchange is a five piece ensemble from Cincinnati dedicated to the creation of eclectic and innovative music. With influences ranging from jazz and funk to worldbeat and experimental, the collective result is unique and balanced, venturing through many musical ideas. Orchestrated compositions, free and guided improvisations, electronic music, and an adventurous approach to musical communication are all a part of a Ray's Music Exchange performance. All the members compose music. Whether the group is in an open improvisation or performing a notated score, the compositional process is ongoing. With every new sound, Ray's can morph into any number of styles and textures. The group feels at home with the unknown, and seeks the removal of the expected. With ears and minds open, they take to the art of music-making, presenting new ideas for the thinker and organic grooves for the dancer.

Friend, Family and Music Lovers,

Once again we are part of the Main Street Music and Arts Festival and would like everybody (in the area) to stop by. This year there will be 23 musical acts, lots of Artist, food, fun, carshow and FIREWORKS!

We will be playing at 3:15 right before our good friends Edge Of Life on Govenore Square downtown Middletown.

We will also be playing at 8:45 as part of the King Blue Allstars a few blocks away at the AK Steel Paviloin followed by fireworks.

Stop out and bring the family,

Johnny B and the Gravediggers
