David Gray at Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island

British singer-songwriter David Gray began his career in 1993, releasing his debut album, A Century Ends, that year. However, it was a re-release of his fourth studio album, White Ladder, in 2000 that catapulted Gray to fame. The album launched five hits: "Babylon", "This Year's Love", "Please Forgive Me", "Sail Away" and "Say Hello Wave Goodbye", and it spent a total of 175 weeks on the UK charts, making it one of the longest-charting albums in UK chart history. The album also became the fifth best-selling album of the 2000s in the UK and the UK's tenth best-selling album of the 21st century. The recipient of two Ivor Novello Awards for songwriting, Gray has continued to write, record and tour throughout the years, and has released 11 studio albums to date. His most recent album, Gold in a Brass Age, was released in March 2019.
