About

I’m a solo musician with a playlist of over 500 songs, covering classic and new country, reggae, and classic rock. With more than 35 years of experience entertaining audiences in all types of venues, I love engaging crowds through audience inter-action and sing-alongs with the classics — though I’m equally comfortable providing a relaxed background atmosphere.

Mike Ray's story of success:

From humble beginnings at the University of Missouri in the late '80s playing and singing for college buddies Mike has become one of the most popular Solo Musicians in the Columbus area! Despite only being in Columbus since 2021, Mike is regularly performing at iconic venues such as Gatsby's, Boatyard @ Buckeye Lake, Hocking Hills Winery, Flanagans, The Winking Lizard and Stadz Pizzeria! His innovative use of backing tracks for drums and bass gives a full band sound that is perfect for sing-a-longs as well as dancing. Mike is also adept at playing in the background when the circumstances call for it. He is a master at reading the room!
