A stellar lineup of singer-songwriters piled onto Tulips’ stage Saturday night in celebration of one of their own. Levi Ray had just released his second recording, the EP
When the Sad Songs Make You Happy, and Quaker City Night Hawks’ Sam Anderson and Summer Dean warmed up the crowd before Ray and his backing trio — father Gerald Ray on guitar, Charles Kleuser on bass, and Jeffry Simms (The Matthew Show) on drums — took the stage. The sound was pristine, and the tunes even sharper.
“The band played great on Saturday, by the way,” Ray said. “I’m super-lucky.”
