The tour accompanies the album "A Light That Waits", the band's first full-length release in several years. It also marks a new creative chapter - characterized by emotional clarity, cinematic songwriting and the timeless sound that has connected The Fray with fans around the world for more than two decades.
"We have so many great memories of our summer tours. The atmosphere - both for us and for the fans - is something that has connected us throughout The Fray's history and has always been great fun," says Ben Wysocki. "Playing these new songs in front of an audience is going to be incredibly exciting."
The Fray made their breakthrough in the early 2000s with an introspective alternative rock sound that was both expansive and intimate. Over the course of their career, the band received four GRAMMY nominations, three Billboard Music Awards, several Billboard Top 10 hits and built up a loyal international fan base. Their breakthrough single "How to Save a Life" was awarded an RIAA Diamond, spent 58 weeks in the Billboard Hot 100 and became a defining anthem through its connection to the Emmy award-winning ABC series Grey's Anatomy.
More milestone news followed this week: the hit album How to Save a Life was newly certified 5x platinum by the RIAA - further proof that the band's catalog continues to resonate with longtime listeners and new fans alike. After more than two decades of hits together, Joe King, Ben Wysocki and Dave Welsh are also taking a new creative step with this project: for the first time, they have written all 11 songs on the album together as a band. This includes their latest single "Ice Cold Lakes", which they performed on The Kelly Clarkson Show this week. Check out the performance here and the official visualizer here.
The band also kicked off release week with a special performance and conversation at the GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles, hosted by journalist and producer Adam Weissler. In front of a sold-out audience, they told stories from their early days, looked back on their biggest hits and gave a first insight into new songs from the album.
