Sugar Ray
is also available for hire as
The Sugar Ray Norcia Big Band
using the Bluetones as the core band
and incorporating a piano and three horns.

With this arrangement, Ray is able to broaden his repertoire to include jump blues and swing dance music.
Ray's eclectic vocals backed by the solid Bluetone rhythm section and augmented with powerful horn arrangements is truly a world class act.

People who remember Sugar Ray fronting Roomful of Blues can attest to the fact that he is as much at home with a swinging horn band as he is with his four piece Chicago style blues outfit. Besides his recordings with Roomful, some examples of Ray's big band music can be heard on Porky Cohen's CD RHYTHM & BONES "Sent For You Yesterday"
and a CD by Doug James entitled BLOW MR. LOW
"Dirty People" and "I Want A Little Girl."
