DAVID GRAY
ANNOUNCES ADDITIONAL US TOUR DATES 

 

 

 New York, NY - April 6, 2011 - Hot off the heels of his sold out "Lost
and Found" tour, David Gray is excited to continue the momentum by
jumping on the road again with a fresh series of dates across the US
this summer, including a stop at the prestigious Grand Ole Opry in
Nashville, TN. In addition, he will make a stop at the Dave Matthews
Band Caravan Festival, in Atlantic City, NJ over the weekend of June
24th - June 26th, where he will headline the final evening of the
festival. The 14 city tour will wrap in Salt Lake City, UT on July 14th
(full routing below). Tickets for all dates are on sale now.

 

On these new dates, Gray will bring back his signature acoustic sound,
but infuse that with a new energy cultivated during the "Lost and Found"
series <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVCNL8pGa0Y>  he brought fans
this past winter. A very intimate set of acoustic evenings, the series
centered around songs from his ninth studio album Foundling and also
included reinterpretations of songs from his entire catalogue. Released
last year, the album notched a #9 debut on Billboard's Top 200 Albums
chart, marking the highest chart position of his career. Entertainment
Weekly describes it as "all warm arrangements and real emotion," while
USA Today says " 'A Moment Changes Everything'  is his most infectious
single since 2000's 'Babylon.' "

David Gray has established himself as one of the UK's leading music
artists both at home and overseas. With a career now spanning over
fifteen years, David's commercial success is also backed up by a
critical consensus and countless accolades. His 2009 release Draw The
Line was met with critical praise and garnered the artist a series of
high profile television appearances, as well as two sold out tours of
the US. Foundling, Gray's 9th studio album picks up where Draw the Line
leaves off, creating a new chapter of lush, soulful songs that find Gray
returning to his folk music roots. Notching a #9 debut on Billboard's
Top 200 Albums chart, Foundling marked Gray's highest release position
of his career and was met with critical praise by Entertainment Weekly
who describes it as "all warm arrangements and real emotion," while USA
Today says " 'A Moment Changes Everything'  is his most infectious
single since 2000's 'Babylon.' "
