Happy New Year 2008! The band came together in April of 2007, learning the original songs written by band leader, Matt Ray. After settling on a few cover songs to round out a set list, the band managed three separate performances. While Matt, individually, and Matt Ray and Friends are both already listed as featured artists on the music website - www.futurewheel.com, this new website is a great addition. The band is also listed on a second website at www.reverbnation.com/mattrayfriends. Practicing and performing will be high on the list for 2008. We are looking forward to a private performance that is scheduled in May 2008. Hope you will listen to our songs, purchase them and get to know them.
