Acclaimed songwriter and multi-instrumentalist David Gray has announced that the US leg of his world tour will kick off on October 23rd in Boston, MA (see dates below). These dates will be in support of his new studio album, Draw The Line via Mercer Street/ Downtown Records due out on September 22nd.
His most captivating work to date, Draw The Lineis the rich, warm, organic sound of David Gray reborn and starts a new chapter in the storytelling for which he is known. Recorded in London, and produced by the artist himself, David Gray’s voice and song-writing are as distinct as ever on the release, showcasing the intensity with which he performs. Ripe with melancholic beauty, key tracks on the album include the glorious sublimely layered “Fugitive,”the album’s lead single, the pensive “Draw the Line” and the emotive composition “Nemesis.” Also featured on the album are two duets not to be missed with Jolie Holland and Annie Lennox.
The first single "Fugitive" is the #5 song in America on the AAA chart
