Ray LaMontagne

The Grammy Award winning musician Ray Lamontagne hurls soulful melodies and nostalgic stories of which I and many others can relate to. His music keeps me grounded a lot of the time simply with the back-country rhythms and characteristic husky voice.

Unfortunately I never managed to get a photo of all the messages.

Also I never actually got to hand it to him personally as he had just gone into a meeting with the venue manager as I arrived. Never the less, one of his agents dutifully took the piece to give to him. (whether she did or not, I don't know)
