This concert/theater work brings the music and the story of the great Ray Charles to vivid life! Portraying Ray, master pianist/vocalist, Kenny Brawner leads his 11 piece orchestra and three sultry vocalists (a la the Raelettees), performing this American legend’s most popular hits: “What’d I Say?”, “I Got A Woman”, “Mess Around”, “Georgia On My Mind”, 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.

Ray On My Mind assembles an orchestra of profoundly accomplished musicians whose performances are ingrained in American popular culture. Members of the orchestra have been heard prolifically on Broadway, Off-Broadway, film, and television. They have performed all over the world and recorded with a diverse range of influential musical giants, including the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, the Count Basie Orchestra, Luther Vandross, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Darius Rucker, Jennifer Hudson, Sonny Rollins, Big Daddy Kane, Bo Diddley, the Sun Ra Arkestra, the Mighty Sparrow, Roy Ayers, Sam & Dave, Ashford and Simpson, Gregory Porter, Boy George, Wilson Pickett, Percy Sledge, David Murray, Eric Benet, Larry Coryell, John Popper, Lester Bowie, Shaggy, Ron Carter and Rihanna.

Lyle Lovett & John Hiatt Together On Stage
Sunday, October 30, 2022
Doors 6 p.m. | Show 7:30 p.m.
Tickets start at $59 (incl. fees)
Upper Balcony $59
Balcony $69
Loge $84

Two of America's most prolific songwriters of any generation - Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt - return to Bremerton to share their unique blend of musical artistry. Both performers deliver songs that speak to your core with lyrics filled with equal parts joy and pain. While on stage, the genuine affection and admiration each holds for the other is shared with the audience as they riff and entertain not only those listening, but themselves as well. These master storytellers will lead you on an intimate journey of heart-wrenching, soul-searching, and often times funny as hell truths.

Lyle Lovett is easily one of the most revered of America's singer-songwriters and performers; yet he isn't an artist easily defined. Lovett has been a music pioneer forging his own path since 1980, carving out a career that spans 14 albums over 5 decades. Fusing elements of Americana, swing, jazz, folk, gospel and blues, he both pens and performs barrier-breaking music, which ceaselessly defies convention. Lovett has won four Grammy Awards, including Best Male Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Album.

John Hiatt is one of those songwriters that other songwriters strive to emulate, and unfortunately for them, most fall short. Hiatt doesn’t just write a song, he builds one—constructing words with such precision, the listener becomes immediately engaged and goes along for the ride as the story unfolds. This gift is why some of the most highly acclaimed artists from the rock, blues and country genres consider themselves fortunate to cover one of his tunes.

Hiatt’s characters are laid bare as he captivates his audience with their stories so intimately exposed that he has earned his place as one the most respected and influential American singer-songwriters of all time. With 22 studio albums under his belt and songs covered by artists as diverse as Bonnie Raitt, Bob Dylan, Iggy Pop, Aaron Neville, Elvis Costello, Willie Nelson and Emmylou Harris, Hiatt has been nominated for 10 Grammys and has been awarded a variety of other distinctions in the music industry. Eric Clapton and BB King share a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album for Riding with the King, the title track penned by Hiatt.
