With his new album expanding upon the foundation he built when he first burst onto the country music scene with two No. 1 singles, “Kiss You In The Morning” and “Think A Little Less,” country music’s Michael Ray heads to Los Angeles Monday to celebrate his latest album, Amos, with his debut late night performance on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

The artist Rolling Stone dubs “an ace guitar player [who] can rip with the best of them” will perform his new single “One That Got Away,” which tied for the most-added upon impact at Country radio. The tune MusicRow declares a “bouncy, mid-tempo outing with loads of hooks” is a live-show staple, with fans singing back every word even before it was a single!

“Growing up in South Florida, there were those summer grooves that just felt anthemic,” shares Michael Ray. “On this album, for me, that song is ‘One That Got Away.’ The songwriters — Jesse Frasure, Trevor Rosen, Matt Ramsey and Josh Osborne — really knocked it out of the park with this jam. Taking it to the late-night television audience seems like the perfect stage as we celebrate the second single from this album.”

Amos borrows its name from Michael Ray’s grandfather, who inspired the country star’s music career by teaching him to play guitar and inviting him to play in the family band from the time he was 9 years old. The album combines Michael Ray’s lyrical roots in classic country with the upbeat rock riffs of today’s country songs to create a sound all his own. USA Today declares “the singer’s music spans semi-traditional to progressive, and he has the moves and attitude to make every note believable.”

Fans can catch Michael Ray playing a variety of fairs and festivals including Cheyenne Frontier Days this summer, and he will hit the road with Old Dominion this fall to play direct support on their Happy Endings World Tour. His sophomore album, Amos, is available now.

About Michael Ray   Country singer-songwriter Michael Ray was a hit right out of the box, scoring both with critics and on the charts. With Country Aircheck boasting there are “big things on the horizon for Michael Ray” and his live shows lauded by USA Today as simply “lip-smacking good,” the Florida native backed up that praise with two number ones from his 2015 self-titled debut album with “Kiss You in the Morning” and “Think a Little Less.”  His sophomore album, Amos, which debuted in the Top 3 on the Billboard Country Charts upon release has already spawned the hit “Get to You” and new single “One That Got Away,” which All Access declared “an undeniable crowd pleaser.” Inspired by his rescue dog Wrigley, Michael Ray created the charitable initiative Wrigley Cares: Helping Animals in Need, collecting donations for local animal shelters at every stop on his “Get To You” Tour in partnership with Zappos For Good. This summer Michael Ray hits the road to play a variety of shows and festivals and will play direct support on Old Dominion’s Happy Endings World Tour this fall.
