Ray sings (and speaks!)

On Thursday (November 16th) we went to see Ray LaMontagne at the Centre for Performing Arts. We saw him once before at Shepherd's Bush Empire in London and he was great then. This time I think he might have been even better. The sound quality at the venue was great, and we had good seats too. Ray's voice was amazing as always. He played a mixture of his most popular songs from his first album, and tracks from his new album too. We were totally absorbed in every song. Initially I thought he was going to be painfully shy as always, but he actually spent a little while talking to the audience this time, which was cool. He was quite a funny guy when he got going. The crowd appreciated his music too, and gave him a standing ovation at the end. Superb. We've vowed never to miss an opportunity to go see him.
