Ricky Rayband is a seasoned musician hailing from Richmond, California, with a passion for music that began at age 7. A talented guitarist, songwriter, and producer, Ricky has been a staple in the local Bay Area music scene since 1985, performing with the GTS band out of Richmond. His versatility also shines through in collaborations with Lady Bianca, Natural
Impulse, Latin Soul Project, and the Julius Melendez Latin Orchestra. Ricky has toured in Europe as well as Mexico. Recently completing a three show tour in Cabo San Lucas Mexico last November and opened for the Oakland China town festival last August.

Ricky has assembled an exceptional lineup of musicians from the East Bay to deliver his signature sound—an energetic blend of original Latin, funk and soul. He is supported by TW Johnson on drums, Tom Fuglestad on trumpet, Billy Tamayo on keyboards, Kevin Galloway on tenor sax, and Tim Leong on bass as well as Tommy Nunnelly on percussion and lead vocals. Together, they are debuting songs from Ricky's upcoming release, Ricky Rayband and the Shades.

With roots in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and a mastery of the East Bay Latin-funk guitar style, Ricky Ray is known for his vibrant and soulful musical expression. Ricky Rayband can perform as small as a 6 piece and as big as a 12 piece band by expanding the horn section and using a keyboard player.

I have provided a video from November 2025 in Cabo San Lucas as a small group and a Video from 2022 at Contra Costa College with a big group. I would like to use 7 band members for your performance if possible.
