In the United States, the name of Sugaray Rayford is on everyone's lips. The golden-voiced Texan began his career in 2004 with Aunt Kizzy’s Boyz. The group, hailed by critics after their first album Trunk full of bluez, continues jams with Slash, Dennis Quaid or Joe Louis Walker. Six years later, carried by this success, the bluesman Sugaray Rayford founded his own eponymous group. With his associates, he continues to roam theaters, doing festivals, animating parties in clubs or filling theaters with the same passion and the same enthusiasm.
