Country

Collin Raye’s ability to blend traditional country sounds with socially conscious lyrics is only one of the reasons he’s among eight country artists to have their first four albums reach platinum status. At the House of Blues, the singer will demonstrate the Henley-like voice and ear for songs that have made him a fixture in Nashville.
