Over his 22-­‐year career, David Gray has been many things to a lot of fans. He is the artist behind “White Ladder,” recorded in a bedroom studio before becoming the top-­‐album in Ireland’s history, selling over 5 million copies worldwide. “Babylon,” “Sail Away,” “My Oh My,” “Please Forgive Me,” “This Year’s Love,” and “Silver Lining” though first released in 1998, the songs from White Ladder are still as seductive and original tody as they were 17 years ago.

The sound of a musician making a clean break and some sharp turns but also reconnecting with the freedoms of an earlier dream, a rebuke and a salutation to all that’s gone before. “Now boasting over 20 years as a professional musician, Gray has always been equally successful in the studio and as alive performer,his energy on stage is enormously infectious that ultimately engages any music lover. After two sold out gigs in 2008 and 2010 at the Dubai Jazz Festival, David Gray is returning for nother gloriously magical performance that is expected to be a huge attraction to a massive crowd. His fanbase is constantly growing in this region as well as worldwide, and with his latest release Mutineers in 2014, we are confident that his upcoming show will be a huge success. The night of February 25th is a double bill offering to the festival fans starting with David Gray performance, and with the show of the year “Chris Botti featuring Sting”.
