This week's installment of the 50 State Strategy brings us acoustic singer/songwriter Ray LaMontange of Lewiston, Maine. There is a lot of heart coming from under the massive beard of this Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young disciple. Check out more at his MySpace.

Every Monday night, C&L's Late Nite Music Club will feature an act from every state, alphabetically by state, as part of LNMC's 50 State Strategy. Know a band or artist that you think is the best in their state? Email suggestions to latenitemusicclub [at] gmail.com. Next week: Maryland.
