Sugaray Rayford
New Year’s Eve
New Year’s Eve
Experience world-class blues, dinner, and drinks — all in one intimate setting.
A Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Blues Album and the Blues Foundation’s B.B. King Entertainer of the Year award set the bar for this one. Sugaray Rayford pairs vintage soul with deep blues in a voice forged in a Texas church, and he has taken home Blues Music Awards for Soul Blues Male Artist in 2019 and 2020, plus Soul Blues Album of the Year for In Too Deep. His latest album, Human Decency, was cut with players from the bands of Mavis Staples, Bruce Springsteen and B.B. King. Please note: the Early Show and the Late Show are separate tickets, and an Early Show ticket does not include the Late Show or the midnight countdown. New Year’s Eve seats go fast.
