"Sugar
Ray's voice combines
the roadhouse grit of
Muddy Waters with a
lonesome desperation
all his own. Sugar Ray gets so down and out that he makes your
skin crawl. He has an ability to convey pain as few bluesmen
of his generation can."

The award
winning blues band
Sugar Ray & The Bluetones have been entertaining
audiences all over the world since 1978.
"I have seen these guys countless
times, spoken with them, reviewed Sugar Ray on Amazon.com, etc.
and have all of their CDs. As a group
and individually- Mike Welch's last two are awesome -
and Matt McCabe has two excellent ones as well.
Even John Chan (Chan's Fine Dining, Woonsocket, RI)
will tell you that Sugar Ray is incredibly underrated.
I have seen just about everyone in the Blues - there are many as good
no doubt, few much better, particularly now that Mike is the regular
guitarist. The last time I spoke with Sugar Ray and Mike I commented
about how they seem to know each others' moves, notes, etc.
Mike knows how to follow Ray - it is uncanny to watch.
And Ray said exactly that, and Mike concurred.
They are a joy and we are privileged to get to see them so frequently
here in the Northeast...I never miss them." - Raymond Cooney-fan
""Sugar
Ray has great tone and great phrasing,
singing and playing the harp. One of my favorites!"
Charlie Musselwhite
""Sugar
Ray is the real deal. There is nobody better to represent this music."
Kim Wilson - The Fabulous Thunderbirds
"His approach to the harp is straight from
the heart of Chicago Blues
but he's not just recycling Little Walter licks.
Ray is clever and innovative and
he knows how to be flashy without overdoing it."
