David Gray performed five songs from his new album, Draw the Line, at a cozy listening party for the album at the Downtown Records studio last night. David is best-known for the song Babylon from his 1999 album White Ladder. His songs have appeared on TV shows such as Smallville and E.R. and as it turns out, he's a super funny and nice guy. Even if you're not a fan, there's no denying his skill and talent as a singer and musician. As soon as he was sitting, he was belting out the notes of the first song, capitvatingly and pitch-perfect. The album is due out on September 22nd. You can read more about it here: http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/david-gray-ready-to-draw-the-line-1003978758.story
David Gray fun fact that I was unaware of: David contributed vocals (along with Thom Yorke obviously) to the Venus In Furs, the band made up for 1998's Velvet Goldmine. Additionally, he's also a snazzy dresser and wears very nice suits. He scoffed at Bill's suggestion that the summer clothes he packed for New York included Hawaiian shirts.
