Press:

“Steve Raybine is the premiere vibraphonist in the Smooth Jazz format”
– Jason Gorov, President at Gorov Music Marketing

"Steve Raybine’s virtuosic solo vibraphone performance
for the Green Lake Festival of Music on August 4, 2016 was woven with humor and heartfelt passion as he spoke about each piece. Our audience loved his rich sound and imaginative, creative improvisations—
the final chords of a piece ringing and hanging in the air for those seconds of magic before the burst of applause.
As a composer and arranger, he has the rare ability to touch the heart with masterful artistry
and personable commentary. Raybine’s performance was fun,
brilliant, and big-hearted, and I can’t wait to work with him again.”

— Laura Deming,
Green Lake Festival of Music Director
Founder & Artistic Director Emerita, Pine Mountain Music Festival
Cellist, Lyric Opera of Chicago
