We are so glad to have Ray Vega return to our Festival stage. Ray has played in many renowned bands including those of Tito Puente, Mongo Santamaria, and Johnny Pacheco as well as his own renowned Latin Jazz Sextet. He has also recorded with Pancho Sanchez, Lionel Hampton, Paul Simon and Sheila E. among others. When Ray is not on the road performing, he serves as the host of Friday Night Jazz on Vermont Public and is a Music Department Faculty at the University of Vermont. His latest offering is the Ray Vega Afro-Caribbean Jazz Ensemble, a Vermont based Salsa Band that focuses on Afro-Caribbean Dance Music. Prepare for a night of dancing!
