David Gray to play Live at the Marquee Cork

Gray is set to return to Live at the Marquee when he takes to the stage on July 7, 2019. Earlier this month, the English singer-songwriter dropped lead single ‘The Sapling’ from his new album, Gold In A Brass Age to be released on March 8, 2019 through IHT Records/AWAL Recordings.

In a press release speaking of Gold In A Brass Age, Gray said: “With this album, my default position was to do everything differently. I didn’t think ‘this would be a good hook or ‘these lyrics could work for a chorus’. I was keen to get away from narrative. Instead of writing melodies, I looked for phrases with a natural cadence, so that the rhythm began with the words. I reimagined where a song might spring from and what form it could take.”

The new material explores electronic textures and sound palettes and is produced by Ben DeVries. His European tour kicks off March 15, 2019 in Cardiff before headlining shows at Dublin's Bord Gáis Theatre on April 5 and 6. He’ll also make stops in Castlebar and Belfast.
