New Single "Homemade Disaster" Released August 7th 2020

Sugaray Rayford is pleased to announce the release of the new single, "Homemade Disaster" written & produced by Eric Corne for Forty Below Records on August 7, 2020. PopMatters Magazine is premiering the track here: Soul Blues' Sugaray Rayford Delivers a "Homemade Disaster" (premiere + Q&A)

2020 should have been Sugaray Rayford's year. He was nominated for a Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues Album for his critically acclaimed album, Somebody Save Me, produced by Eric Corne and released in March 2019 on Forty Below Records. He was also the recipient of two Blues Music Awards, winning the highly coveted B.B. King Entertainer of the Year as well as the award for Soul Blues Male Artist for the 2nd consecutive year. And if that isn't enough, Suga also won a pair of Muddy Awards for Best Performance and Best Recording, as well as Blues Blast Magazine's Best Blues Band.

Rayford then hooked up with a new manager who orchestrated his singing with the United Talent Agency, a necessary component for booking the 'touring machine's' 200+ dates a year.

All the forward momentum came to a screeching halt due to Covid-19 and just like everybody else, Suga was sidelined, unable to capitalize on all his recent success. Not one to sit idle, Sugaray and producer Eric Corne returned to the studio virtually to create "Homemade Disaster." About the song Rayford states, "I love this song more and more every time I hear it, the sound and lyrics take you on a wild ride. America, we allowed this to happen on our watch - what we got here is a homemade disaster."

Suga has been entertaining the masses virtually with his weekly Facebook livestream on Tuesday’s at 12PM PT. Live From The Sugashack was featured as a "Pick" in the LA Weekly and Rayford's currently sitting pretty on the LA Weekly Spotify Playlist.

To satiate your Suga fix, catch him performing live at Pershing Square's At-Home Concert Series. Watch it on August 22nd at 8PM PT / 11PM EST on Youtube, Recconnect LA, Facebook, & 88.5FM.
