The Frontier Touring Company is pleased to announce the return of David Gray. This tour will see the talented singer-songwriter and his full band play three New Zealand dates on a national tour.
It was over five years ago that New Zealanders first sat up and took notice of the remarkable Mr Gray. The moment was the release of David’s fourth album White Ladder, and it won him a huge international following. This was an album that commanded attention, that ignited sentiment and emotion…that sold more than 6 million copies! The album struck a chord with both the public and critics alike, winning David two Ivor Novello awards, a Q award, a GQ award, two Brit nominations and a Grammy nomination.
Reviews of David’s recent performances overseas indicate that his new material is ideal for the larger venues that demand has necessitated he play:
“How can one small singer- songwriter fill such a big space? Here’s the answer: There’s nothing small about him. His songs are full of oversize moments and striking crescendos; if he sometimes sings softly, it’s only so you’ll be more excited when he grows loud. He had a full band at Radio City, but whether he was playing guitar or piano, he seemed like a band unto himself.” New York Times Review – October 2005
A similarly talented performer is Pete Murray. Pete’s debut album Feeler struck a chord with the New Zealand public, achieving double platinum sales. In Australia, the album went six times platinum! Pete’s latest release See the Sun promises to be just as successful with first single “Better Days” securing strong radio-play.
Make sure you don’t miss David Gray performing live this April with Pete Murray. These are sure to be some truly magical shows!
