with Albemarle Jazz Camp

FRIDAYS AFTER FIVE - BUD LIGHT CONCERT SERIES

Big Ray and the Kool Kats - Amazing Dance Covers - Free Show

Big Ray and the Kool Kats sprang to musical life in 1996. Ray Caddell,
longtime professional musician and veteran of tours and performances
with everyone from Frank Sinatra to Gladys Knight to The Temptations was
driving down the road listening to the University of Virginia college
radio station and heard a tune from a band with a horn driven sound that
seemed to combine rock, Motown and Big Band music. He called the
station, found out the band's name, got a copy of the cd from the
station and wore it out on his car's cd player.

With horn players from his Ray Caddell Swing Orchestra, a thumping
rhythm section, and 5 dynamic vocalists including "the Sinatra guy," a
Motown specialist, and 3 beautiful and talented female vocalists, Big
Ray and the Kool Kats plays the very best dance music from many eras and
genres.

 High profile gigs from Cabo San Lucas to The Kennedy Center Gala, Bellagio Las Vegas to Nantucket, and all up and down the Eastern Seaboard along with "fly dates" to Denver, Chicago, Montana, Florida, Boston, Charleston and beyond.  The bands reputation has grown, aided by multiple NYE appearances at The Greenbrier, The Homestead and other fine resorts.  Bring your dancing shoes and come on down for a night of great music!
