Ray Charles on My Mind

The music and the story of Georgia’s own “Genius” jumps to vivid life! Kenny Brawner leads his 12 piece orchestra and three sultry vocalists (a la the Raelettees) through this American legend’s most popular hits: “What’d I Say?”, “I Got A Woman”, “Mess Around”, a blazing hot duet on “Baby It’s Cold Outside”, and many more! The music is interwoven with monologues depicting how gospel, blues, jazz and country influenced Ray’s style, while also reflecting on American social history, his epic battle with drugs, and his triumphant return home to “Georgia On My Mind.”
