Another year and another year of live music! We found ourselves at the Masonic Temple Cathedral catching David Gray’s Past and Present World Tour. The crowd was lively and willing to wait in the cold weather for their chance to see a legend perform. Instead of opening doors at the scheduled time, they allowed those dedicated fans in early to warm up with a good drink and some merch after the VIP fans got in. The night started off with Sierra Spirit kicking things off. She played a few songs from her latest album as well as a cover of a Nirvana song.
Before we knew it, it was time for David to appear. He kicked off the night with "After the Harvest," "My Oh My," and "White Ladder." It’s rare for a seated theater to see everyone on their feet, cheering and singing along with someone, but this show was special for so many people. We enjoyed chatting with two brothers about how they discovered David. “Our mother’s from Bristol, and she got the rest of our family into David’s music. She made sure his music was everywhere, including at the wedding.” “It was a rite of passage to see him, I guess,” the other laughed.
Halfway through the night, David had the fans suggest a song request, with "Birds Without Wings" being the night's favorite. He covered Soft Cell’s “Say Hello, Wave Goodbye” before an encore set started. The big surprise for us was the Mitski cover of “My Love is All Mine.” Of course he ended the night with Babylon.
More about David Gray
GRAMMY® nominated British singer-songwriter David Gray unveils his thirteenth studio album Dear Life, out now via Gray’s independent label, Laugh A Minute Records/Secretly Distribution. The release of the project comes ahead of his 2025 “Past & Present” World Tour, which is set to kick off next week. Listen to the full-length project HERE.
Dear Life stands as Gray’s most profound, unique, and heartfelt work to date, with album singles “Plus & Minus,” “After the Harvest,” “Singing for the Pharaoh,” and “Fighting Talk” setting the tone for this new era in David’s musical journey. Weaving a story unlike any other, the record reveals the singer-songwriter as a driven individual dedicated to a personal artistic journey. As a bonafide storyteller through and through, Gray highlights his innermost self through richly poetic lyrics and an expansive musical range. Produced by Ben de Vries and recorded in a makeshift studio two hours outside of London, in Norfolk, Dear Life navigates the complex interplay between emotional crisis and resolution, mortality and faith, reality and illusion, as well as love and heartbreak. It explores themes of magic, science, loss, and acceptance, all while maintaining a sonically cohesive and immersive soundscape.
The Past & Present World Tour will see David playing his greatest hits in addition to tracks off Dear Life. The 50-stop trek will kick off on January 24th in Boston and with David set to trot across North America, Europe, and the UK, with performances in New York, LA, Toronto, Nashville, London, Dublin, Glasgow, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and more before wrapping in Belfast at the end of August. Full list of tour dates below and more information HERE.
About David Gray:
David Gray has established himself as one of the UK’s leading music artists both at home and overseas. Gray’s commercial success is also backed up by a critical consensus and numerous accolades. He has quietly become one of the most influential, impactful, and inimitable British vocalists of this century, gathering two Ivor Novello Awards, in addition to notching four BRIT Award nominations, two GRAMMY® nominations, and multi-PLATINUM certifications worldwide. Gray broke the mold with his album, White Ladder, in 1998. Beyond going platinum in North America, it historically became “the tenth best-selling album of the 21st century in the United Kingdom,” and “the best-selling album in Ireland.” Paving the way for generations, its success spawned a new wave of singer-songwriters in an acoustic boom that resonates to this day of artists, including Ed Sheeran and Adele who count Gray as an influence. To this day, he remains an electrifying performer, selling-out arenas and amphitheaters on various continents. With his thirteenth studio album Dear Life out January 17th, 2025, Gray has made his musical return. With no signs of slowing down, fans can catch Gray on his “Past & Present” World Tour.
