Ray Stevens Announces Final Full Run Of Live Shows In 2024

Ray Stevens has announced his final full run of live shows for 2024, but the country music icon is not stepping entirely out of the public eye. Rather, the 84-year-old entertainer is slowing his live performance schedule way down to focus on recording. After more than six decades in the music industry, Stevens has become a household name, known for his catchy tunes and humorous performances.

Throughout his illustrious career, Stevens has produced numerous hits, including "Everything Is Beautiful" and "Misty," as well as comedy classics like "The Streak," "Gitarzan," and "Mississippi Squirrel Revival." His unique blend of humor and musical talent has endeared him to fans across generations, making his upcoming shows in 2024 a bittersweet farewell.

In 2018, Stevens opened the Ray Stevens CabaRay Showroom in Nashville, which has since become a popular venue for live performances. However, he has now decided to significantly reduce his live schedule after completing his concert dates for 2024. "I plan to stop performing regularly at my CabaRay Showroom here in Nashville at the end of 2024," Stevens said in a statement. "I’ll be going to work every day in my recording studio and maybe I’ll do a few, a very few, shows in some old familiar places."

Stevens emphasizes that this does not mark the end of his long career. "I’m definitely slowing down, but I haven’t come to a complete stop, not yet, anyway," he stated. He is a celebrated member of several music halls of fame, including the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Fans can look forward to a special Valentine's Day show in 2024, along with his final series of scheduled shows starting March 16 and continuing through December. Tickets are available through the CabaRay Showroom website, and fans are encouraged to grab them before they sell out!
