Join the Acoustic Monday series in the Municipal Complex Courtyard!

mr. RAY (Ray Andersen) has been writing and performing under this name since 1994, but that is only part of the story. In 1994, Ray was asked to come in and perform at a pre-school. In no time, he became known as "mr. RAY," holding an eye-catching, colorfully-stickered guitar. The kids (and Ray) were quickly hooked. Singing about friendship, dinosaurs and rainbows never sounded so cool before…

THIS EVENT IS POSTPONED UNTIL TUESDAY, JUNE 15TH.
