Collin Raye doesn’t just perform—he connects. Since bursting onto the scene with “Love, Me” in 1991, Collin Raye has built a remarkable career on songs that touch hearts and change lives.

With his signature soulful delivery and electrifying stage presence, Raye transforms every show into an emotional journey that resonates long after the final note. From tender ballads that have soundtracked life’s most precious moments to high-energy rockers that ignite the crowd, this is country music at its most authentic.

CAPA welcomes Collins Raye to Columbus for a show in the Southern Theatre on Thursday, November 13, at 7:30 pm. SJ McDonald will also perform.

Tickets, which start at $39, go on sale at 10 am Friday, July 11, and may be purchased at the CAPA Ticket Center at the Ohio Theatre (39 E. State St.), online at www.capa.com, and by phone at (614) 469-0939.

From chart-topping hits that dominated the ’90s airwaves, to new songs and storytelling, this will be an evening of masterful musicianship and timeless songs that will remind you why real country music never goes out of style—honest, powerful, and straight from the heart.

Raye’s latest album, SCARS, showcases an artist unafraid to push boundaries while staying true to his roots. Featuring collaborations with Miranda Lambert, Vince Gill, and the Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach, this 14-track collection—with Raye writing nearly every song—proves his creative fire burns as bright as ever.

“I sincerely hope that the people who have embraced my music the last 29 years will embrace SCARS and find enjoyment and emotional inspiration from this album,” Raye reflects.

SJ McDonald is an Appalachian-raised cowgirl whose music blends ’90s country nostalgia with witty storytelling, shaped by her farm-life roots in Virginia. A dynamic performer and songwriter, she’s made waves in Nashville, independently toured coast to coast, and earned accolades like CMT’s Next Up Now Artist, the 2025 Nashville’s Next Rising Star winner, and major label songwriting cuts.
