about

Chris Gray’s self-titled debut album is brimming with hugely energised and creative self-pinned compositions rooted in the tradition of folk music. The music exhales Chris’ strong upbringing in folk music as well as various other influences and styles including his love of jazz and classical music. Recorded in early 2019, with Calum MacCrimmon as producer, the album features a multi-instrumental ensemble.

Two amazing musicians in their own right, put them together and the result is even greater than the sum of the parts. The goal to capture, "live," energy is achieved, such a great album! PipingJim
