Sugaray Rayford

MVBS.org is proud to welcome Sugaray Rayford to Blues Fest 2023. Sugaray Rayford returns with In Too Deep, the follow up to his 2020 Grammy® nominated Somebody Save Me, an album which also earned Rayford two major Blues Music Awards for B.B. King Entertainer and Soul Blues Male Artist of the Year (2 straight years). Recorded with Producer Eric Corne (John Mayall), In Too Deep combines classic soul melodies with funky R&B grooves and raw blues power, mashed up with modern sensibilities. The album takes on issues, such as PTSD, civil rights and social justice. With vibrantly detailed arrangements tailored to showcase Rayford’s deft portrayals and interpretations, In Too Deep is a poignant album that seeks to inspire and uplift.

At his core, Sugaray Rayford is a galvanizing uniter. His live shows are a party, and people leave feeling a sense of joy and togetherness. Come and see Sugaray Rayford on Saturday, Sept. 16, at 7:15pm and be blown away at the 2023 Blues Fest!
