David Gray on Tour
David Gray can captivate an entire sold-out stadium with just his voice and a guitar, pulling at every listener's heartstrings with each emotional hook. The singer-songwriter grew comfortable on the stage starting out in the early 1990s touring around the UK, Ireland and the US. Within a few years, Gray's audiences grew significantly, especially when he started opening for groups like Radiohead and the Dave Matthews Band. But it wasn't until he went independent and released the album White Ladder in 1998 that Gray began getting the recognition he deserved. He ended up performing at the popular Glastonbury Festival in 1999, and eventually made it to the main stage in 2003. He's since toured the world extensively, selling out dates from the US to Europe to Australia, as he continues to expand his impressive catalog of songs.
David Gray in Concert
English singer-songwriter David Gray has enjoyed a strong, steady career composing some of music's most understated - and underrated - melodies. Gray was born in Sale, Cheshire, in North West England, in 1968, but moved to Wales with his family as a young boy. There, he started dabbling in music, playing in local punk bands as a teenager. He then headed back to England to attend the Liverpool College of Art (whose alumni include John Lennon), and began honing his songwriting skills. After graduation, he relocated to London to pursue a solo career and was quickly signed to Hut Records in 1992. He then released his debut single, "Birds Without Wings," followed by his 1993 debut album, A Century Ends, which captures a young Gray finding and forming his fierce, folk-inspired style. His next two albums, Flesh and Sell, Sell, Sell, brought some extra attention - especially in Ireland - but failed to reach a wider audience across the pond. He decided to go DIY for his fourth album, White Ladder, which he recorded in his London apartment and self-released in 1998. This decision proved to be more than wise: Dave Matthews then released the album on his brand-new ATO Records in 2000, and the single "Babylon" shot up the charts in both the UK and the US. The album has since been certified platinum a jaw-dropping 10 times. Over the following decade, Gray would continue to experiment, weaving in electronic touches while maintaining his signature heartfelt acoustic style. His 2005 album, Slow Motion, debuted at the top of the charts in Ireland and the UK, while his 2009 release, Draw the Line, featured notable appearances from Annie Lennox and Jolie Holland. In the next decade, Gray would slow down a bit, releasing his 10th studio album, Mutineers, in 2014, before returning in 2019 with Gold in a Brass Age, both released on his own IHT Records.

Every show that David Gray puts on is amazing, and this one was extra special at Chateau Ste Michelle's Winery. Out under the stars. It was fabulous!
First of all, I love the Greek Theater when seeing great performers like David Gray!! Parking does suck though! Best thing to do is park off-site and take advantage of the shuttle service. Costs about $10-20 round trip, if I remember correctly? Totally worth it! I was sitting 10th row center and ended up not having anyone sitting next to me on either side. David's voice sounded amazing and his son selection was great! Check out setlist.fm for the song selection. I can't wait to see him again on his next tour!! Awesome show!!
This was one of the best concerts I have ever attended! After waiting 4 years from date of ticket purchase until concert due to covid, David Gray was fabulous! Loved every minute!
David Gray didn’t have an opening band but he played longer than any other band or singer I’ve gone to see. I love it. He is so good!!!!
First time seeing him. Will drive/fly anywhere to see him again. Absolutely buy tickets.
I will start by saying I haven't been to many concerts and the one's I have gone to were more of a bunch of bands like Ozzfest which were great but David..... David was by far one of the best time's I have ever had at the Leader Bank Pavillion, it was such a laid back crowd and I cannot wait to go back next time to sit front row, it was almost 2 weeks ago and I'm still listening to him nonstop. The only small negative thing is my friend looked up the guidelines for bags and had a small bag within those guidelines but they said it was too big so everyone size down one from whatever the measurements are listed ...they are not correct but the Venue was great...if your a drinker plan on spending some money.....worth it!!!
The environment was just plain perfect. People, staff and everyone in involved, were just great! It was a perfect night to top it off. For that THANK YOU!!!
Enjoyed the concert tremendously. David Gray put on a good show, with a great setlist and some neat variety. The outdoor venue was a lot better than I expected; probably weren't any bad seats.
David Gray puts on a wonderful concert. His passion for his music shines through!!
This was my first live concert post-pandemic and it was the most moving and uplifting experience I have had in a long time. David is always an amazing performer but he was particularly electric on this occasion. He really connected with the audience; there was so much passion in his performance and it showed in how the audience responded. He just took the power of these songs we all know well to a whole new level and made it feel like we were rediscovering him all over again. People were standing, hugging, crying. It was such a powerful reminder that nothing can come close to the experience of seeing a great artist live.
