Ray Stevens Showroom CabaRay To Reopen In October
Ray Stevens is reopening his West Nashville showroom, CabaRay, following the government-mandated shutdown due to COVID-19 earlier this year. The country funnyman will resume live concerts at the entertainment venue on Thursday, Oct. 1, and concerts will be held every Thursday and Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. CT.CabaRay will reopen with a limited capacity of 125 concertgoers with socially-distanced tables setup throughout the venue. During the initial reopening phase, dinner will not be available, but Stevens plans to offer guests snacks, drinks and desserts.
“We are reopening CabaRay on Oct. 1,” Stevens said. “We’re excited to be able to get back to playing music, singing, laughing and having fun, all at a CDC-approved social distance of course!”
Perennial funnyman Stevens kept his trademark humor intact during the shutdown with the release of “The Quarantine Song.” The tune originally debuted on RFD-TV’s Larry’s Country Diner and was later uploaded to the internet. To date, the video has surpassed one million views on YouTube and currently boasts more than 6.9 million views on Facebook, totaling an audience of nearly eight million.
