Description

THE DISTRICT TURNS 5!! Join us to celebrate our 5yr Anniversary with Ray Greene!! Friday, December 17th or Sunday, December 19th Vocalist and trombonist Ray Greene has been a mainstay of the Boston music scene since enrolling at Berklee College of Music in the mid-’90s. He was a member of a popular area soul band, performing music by the likes of Tower of Power, when a friend suggested he audition for the position of lead vocalist for that legendary soul-funk outfit. Greene subbed for outgoing vocalist Larry Braggs in September 2013, and the next month got the call to be his replacement. Two years in, Greene got another call, this time from Carlos Santana’s personal manager. Turns out Santana was looking for a new lead singer, and made an offer that Castillo, his then-current employer, said Greene couldn’t refuse. Ray has been a member of Santana’s band now for five years. While he loves being out front, he’s always has his horn at the ready as well which Greene toured with Rick James as a horn player.
