20.07 | MACY GRAY at The Sugar Club
-----------------------------------------------------
For over 20 years, Macy Gray has gained acclaim globally on the music scene. This R&B, jazz and soul singer, songwriter, musician, record producer, and actress, is best known for her distinctive raspy voice, and a singing style heavily influenced by Billie Holiday. With over 25 million record sales worldwide, Gray has been overturning fan expectation and industry formula since kicking off her music career with her debut 1999 CD, On How Life Is. That musical calling card spawned the classic single "I Try," and both the CD and single were massive global hits which kicked off a streak of success including two Grammys, two MTV awards and a thriving acting career. Her 10th studio LP, Ruby, was released in fall of 2018.
Audiences will feel that too as she brings the record to life nightly in Europe on her 2018 tour. In the end, RUBY represents Macy Gray at her most passionate, poetic, and powerful.
“I hope that I can make them smile and make them reflect. I love when fans reach out with stories of how I've inspired, influenced them, or helped them get through a moment in their life. I want them to take away sincerity, honesty and authenticity. I'm hopeful that I am providing them with something that is meaningful and thoughtful. I'm still looking at how I can contribute more artistically and as a human. This is one way.” - Macy Gray.
