Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter Macy Gray will join the headliners for the 20th Blue Mountains Music Festival in 2015. Gray and her band will perform one show only on Sunday afternoon, March 15.
Gray will be making her much anticipated return to Australian shores on her The Way national tour.
Gray first sauntered onto the popular stream of consciousness at the turn of the century with her debut multi-platinum album On How Life Is, featuring the international chart-topping hit single, I Try. It was the success of her debut album that kicked off a career that includes multiple Grammy award nominations, including a win for best female pop vocal performance, BRIT and MTV Awards, over 30 million units sold, and a thriving acting career (Training Day, Spiderman).
Gray has forged a career creating music that leaps genre barriers from experimental soul to alternative rock, from retro-disco to hip-hop, collaborating with artists including John Frusciante, Erykah Badu, Gang Starr, Mos Def and Pharoah Monche.
Now, as a single mother of three teenagers and an established career woman in both music and film, Gray is finally ready to share her journey with the world. The Way features uplifting tracks laced with Gray's signature sound as she covers powerful topics such as female independence, triumph over adversity, self-love and expression.
Macy Gray joins Buffy Sainte-Marie, John Butler, Dan Sultan, Jordie Lane, Steve Poltz, Himmerland, We Two Thieves, Castlecomer, Frank Yamma, David Bridie, Phil Wiggins and Dom Turner, Nuala Kennedy Trio, Dewayne Everettsmith, Heartstring Quartet, Perch Creek and plenty more to make this 20th festival a must- see event.
