CHUKIE RAY LIVE AT BARTOW REALY FOR LIFE 2008



One could say that Chuckie Ray’s music career begin when he received a violin at the age of 5. Because he could hardly get anything out of it but a squawk, he traded it for his first bike. His grandfather the Reverend Daniel Daughtry was so sure that Chuckie Ray should become a musician he then purchased a mandolin for Chuckie Ray and three years later a guitar. At the age of 9, Chuckie Ray was fortunate enough to share the stage in Andalusia Alabama with Dottie Rambo and was hooked!! The desire to perform was born and one would consider Chuckie Ray as self taught. Although it has been a long and winding road with many detours along the way, he never lost that desire. In the sixties Chuckie Ray performed with several different groups and shared the stage with Bobbie Moore, Bobbie Jackson, Emanuel Huffman, and King Tutt. In 1968 Chuckie Ray traded in his guitar in for an M-16 and was off to Viet Nam. This experience would change his life forever and the boy that he was grew up in a way that no one should ever have too. He was highly decorated for his military service but the pain and scars still remain over the loss of so many of his brothers in arms. In the 70’s Chuckie Ray performed with Sweetwater, The Cords, the Kingman and also as a solo act. In 1978 Chuckie Ray left the music industry and did not perform again until he did a concert in 2001 with Alex and Sergey in Yoskar Ola Russia. In 2002 , Chuckie Ray returned to Central Florida and has been writing, recording and working as an entertainer, with-in the Active Adult Senior communities and also doing volunteer performances for the veterans. Now at 60 Chuckie Ray is living a wonderful dream. Wherever he gets the opportunity to perform, he gets invited back, so he must doing something right. Chuckie Ray was in Brazil on tour from August until mid November of 2006 and two of the songs from his current CD is getting air time there. Chuckie Ray’s show consists of a variety of music (i.e.) country, originals, blues, classic rock, pop, and southern gospel. He uses pre-recorded tracks, keyboards, guitar and also adds musicians from time to time, depending on the request and the budget of the clients. Chuckie Ray carries his own state of the art sound, and lighting equipment. A portable 8x20 stage for outdoor performances is available upon request. Chuckie Ray has now joined forces with Billie Jo Harrelson and Ray Blackwater under the name of Somewhere USA. The three of them have really blended well and the showmanship and talent is well worth the time to see one of their shows.
