"Nothing short of stunning." ~ Atlanta Constitution

With their soulful four-part harmonies, poetic lyrics and indelible melodies, VON GREY sound like they were born to play together – and, in fact, they were. The four sisters have been playing music nearly their entire lives. Classically trained from an early age, the Atlanta-based quartet – Kathryn, Annika, Fiona and Petra von Grey – have built on that foundation by performing upwards of 200 shows in the past two years, from recurring residency tours at intimate venues throughout the southeastern U.S. to supporting gigs with such artists as Sarah McLachlan. Working in a vein similar to that of such contemporaries as The Civil Wars and Mumford & Sons, von Grey masterfully melds folk, bluegrass and country influences, imbuing time-honored musical idioms with a distinctly modern sensibility. Their five-song EP, recorded with GRAMMY® award-winning producer/engineer Nick DiDia (Bruce Springsteen, Train, The Gaslight Anthem), captures the band’s essence and the raw intensity of their live performances. “There are times when musical expression is more important than perfect execution,” explains Fiona. She and Annika are von Grey’s lead vocalists and chief songwriters. “There are times I want to hear my fingers slide on the guitar string, when the breath I take before a phrase is as important as the lyric that follows.” Von Grey were part of the inaugural Winter Wednesday series sponsored by 91.9 WFPK, and have since shared the bill with Company of Thieves here in Louisville. Welcome to the Unc, ladies!
