The founding members of the folk-indie rock band, Charlie and the Rays, are just getting started pursuing their dream. They hope for the day when they’re able to quit their jobs in the service industry and earn a living playing music.
But, when you press them a bit more, their hopes for the future are actually quite big.
“I want to be a rock star, and just being able to express myself in music.” said 19-year-old Rebecca Stobbee, one of the band’s vocalists.
According to 20-year-old Gracia Bridges, who also sings and plays trumpet, she’ll know she’s made it, “[when] I show up to a gig and my guitar is already set up for me. That is my dream!”
Jordan Stobbee, who’s 21, hopes the day will come when the band goes on a world tour. “I think if we go on a world tour, that would be like, "We made it guys; We did it.”
Charlie and the Rays has its first LP out. It’s titled "Black Licorice."
