A Tribute to Ray Charles: Featuring Ambrose & Eddy Bishai 🎶

Step into the timeless soul of Ray Charles as two world-class musicians, Ambrose and Eddy Bishai, bring his legendary music to life in an unforgettable night at The Velvet Monkey.

🔥 Ambrose, a master saxophonist, has done it all—from touring with Downbeat’s 5-star jazz award winner Cleo Laine to playing with Bill Haley & The Comets and delivering sultry sax lines for Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.

🎹 Eddy Bishai, a phenomenal Hammond B3 organist and multi-talented artist, brings his deep passion for soul, jazz, funk, and gospel to the stage. A core member of Forever Ray—a tribute band that honors Ray Charles’ legacy—Eddy has performed alongside one of Ray’s very own Raelettes.

✨ Join us for a night of electrifying performances, timeless hits, and deep musical grooves as we celebrate the one and only Ray Charles. ✨
