We're thrilled to annouce that Ray will return home to Portland, ME on August 29th, 2009 to headline The Machigonne Festival. The Machigonne Festival derives it's name from the Native American word for Portland. This community-wide event will feature Ray and The Rustic Overtones, two of the most successful performing artists to come out of Maine. The festival will also include local artists and food and craft vendors.

All proceeds from the show will benefit the Jessie Fund, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to supporting children with cancer. Currently, one of our primary beneficiaries is the Maine Children’s Cancer Program (MCCP). All administrative work for the fund is performed by volunteers: 90% of donations go toward helping those in need. More information can be found at jessiefund.org.

Presale tickets will be available for this event tomorrow morning, July 10th at 10am local venue time, here. Use promo code: machigonne2009.

Tickets go on sale to the public the following morning, Saturday July 11th at 10am, here.
