AJ Bray’s brought himself and a banging show to KIVA this evening as he performed 11 various songs from the Deserved It EP and Gucci Durag Chronicles EP. The crowd is jumping and turning up with him as he even got off stage and joined the crowd during his performance. The energy throughout the set was very loud as people jumped and sang his songs. There is no room for resting at a set like his, as you would be the odd ball out if you were sitting on the side instead of joining in and enjoying the music. The hype never quit once at the show and was still high as he finished off the set with his final song, Caitlyn Jenner. AJ Bray is happy to be here in San Marcos at the 10th annual MR Fest. He says, “Its dope. I think its good that a city like this [San Marcos] has a festival going on. It’s not a big city but it has this type of talent going on.”
