It really is an amazing instrument.”</p><p>In May, Ray released his seventh studio album <em>Part of the Light</em> via NPR said, “With ambitious acoustic ’70s-style sounds, LaMontagne’s warmth radiates on a record that expands on what we’ve come to expect from the singer-songwriter,” and that LaMontagne is “in this incredibly inspired period in his career right now.” <a href="https://www1.ticketmaster.com/event/060054E5D75C7135 ">Tickets start at $35.</a></p>
