TOUR STARTS FEB. 21 IN BOSTON, MA; FOUNDLING OUT NOW
David Gray and his band will be kicking off the 2011 “Lost and Found tour" in Boston, MA on February 21. The tour will center on tracks from his 2010 album Foundling, as well as reinterpretations of songs from his entire catalogue. Ticket presales and onsales begin this week.
Says Gray, “The 'Lost and Found' tour embodies more than just an opportunity to play some of the quieter, more intimate songs not only from 'Foundling,' but from across my catalogue, it also provides a long anticipated platform for a completely different approach. In terms of the way that the sound of the music is captured and presented, it will be more like a recording session than a gig in many ways. Acoustic instruments will be miced up for their real sound, rather than going for the usual pick-up sound, and as a result volume levels both for the band and the audience will have to be kept much lower than at your average 'rock' show. Hopefully the sonic results will be more than worth the sacrifice of a few decibels. Essentially the 'Lost and Found' show will be a listening experience."
