After last year’s EPIC RME Reunion show blowout caused Mayhem on Main Street with Ernie Johnson from Detroit, Ray’s Music Exchange is making 2026 extra special as they mark THIRTY YEARS since the band started playing gigs back in 1996! RME’s local Cincinnati core of Michael “Maddog” Mavridoglou (trumpet, keyboards, vocals), Brad Myers (guitar, vocals), Nick Blasky (bass, vocals), Jason Smart (drums), and Matthew Hawkins (percussion) will play two long sets of concert favorites and some new tunes with very special guests and original band members Joe McLean (guitar, vocals) and Paul Hogan (keyboards, vocals). They will also feature all-star saxophonist Steve Kortyka (Ray’s circa 2004) who has recorded and toured with Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett among a slew of other world-class musicians. Old friends and new friends alike will get to come together and join the band for an extended family reunion and celebrate the 30 year history of the band...don't miss this show!
