Artist History Uncle JoeBob originated as a duo consisting of Joe McLean, Ray's Music Exchange(guitar)and Rob Stratton, Ray's Music Exchange(manager) brought together to open for Keller Williams in Cincinnati. It has since evolved into a family of musicians, most of which are also in Ray's Music Exhange, dedicated to creating something different and beautiful. Unfortunately due to the busy schedule of Ray's, Uncle JoeBob is very limited on time for live performances.
