Description

Early Gray is a duo formed by pianist Owen Dodds and guitarist/mandolinist Drake Duffer. Self-described as "modern folk", Early Gray began as an experimental duo by two classical musicians. What started as free improvisation began to spin itself into fully developed vocal and instrumental compositions. Raised in North Carolina, Drake and Owen draw influence from the state's various musical spheres. Early Gray’s debut album, Paint the Windows, was released in 2017, with the follow-up Aluminum Overcast in 2022. They have appeared in venues such as Lincoln Center's Clark Studio Theater, New York’s Rockwood Music Hall, Boston’s Club Passim, Carrboro NC’s Cat’s Cradle, and Elkin’s Reeves Theater as guests of The Martha Bassett Show. They have collaborated with artists including Gabriel Kahane and Tanner Porter. In 2021, they were featured on PBS North Carolina.
