Justin Ray Big Band

The Justin Ray Big Band plays original music deeply rooted in the swing of Ellington and Basie, with lyrical themes that are both current and timeless. Come swing with the Justin Ray Big Band on Saturday, March 19 at 7pm and 9pm.

Featured Artist of the Week: The Justin Ray Big Band

The Justin Ray Big Band plays original music deeply rooted in the swing of Ellington and Basie, with lyrical themes that are both current and timeless. Justin Ray started his musical career as a bebop trumpet player, performing in venues all over the country. In 2003, he began to tour the world with the Michael Bublé band as the trumpet soloist. While with Bublé, Justin was given the opportunity to perform the works of some of the great composers/arrangers of the big band genre (Nelson Riddle, Quincy Jones, etc.), and he began working for Bublé in that capacity as well, becoming the primary orchestrator for the band in 2008. Ray combined many of his musical passions (trumpet, singing, and composing) by forming the Justin Ray Big Band in 2020. The group is dedicated to performing both original arrangements of the standard American songbook repertoire, and Ray’s original music for big band. Style and swing are at the center, but no musical or lyrical influence is out of bounds. This is big band music for the millennial.
