Gathering - Sue Ray
Gathering presents Sue Ray.

Often compared to artists like Bonnie Raitt, Chris Stapleton and Lucinda Williams, Sue's sound crosses genres allowing her appeal to a wide audience. Catch Sue Ray's live performance from 12 noon to 1pm at the main stage of Queen Street Mall. This Gathering event is produced by Cre8tiveNations.
