Country Music Hall of Famer back from retirement to perform in 2025
Ray Stevens isn’t done yet.
The Country Music Hall of Famer is coming out of retirement to perform in 2025.
The 86-year-old Stevens announced new live dates in 2025 at CabaRay Showroom where he’ll perform songs from his newest album, “Say Whut?,” along with selections from over his career.
“It will be an all-new show with new songs and new stories,” the “Everything Is Beautiful” singer said, per Taste of Country. “But don’t worry, I’ll still be bringing along Ethel, Margaret, Gitarzan, the squirrel and other favorites.”
Stevens played what was thought to be his final live shows in December 2024.
