STG Presents: The Fray
Tuesday, February 28, 2012 at 7:30 pm
By pitching their music somewhere between the arena-friendly style of U2 and the mature pop/rock of bands like Maroon 5 and Counting Crows, the Fray rose to commercial prominence with their 2005 debut, How to Save a Life. The Denver-based band had formed three years prior, when former schoolmates Isaac Slade (vocals, piano) and Joe King (guitar, vocals) unexpectedly bumped into each other at a local music store. The pair began a series of two-man jam sessions and soon expanded their lineup with two of Slade's former bandmates, drummer Ben Wysocki and guitarist David Welsh. Slade's younger brother, Caleb, also joined the band for a stint but was ultimately asked to leave; the resulting rift between the two siblings would later inspire the band's first hit single, "Over My Head (Cable Car)."
The Fray’s third studio outing was produced by Brendan O’Brien and was inspired by the group’s trips to Rwanda and Germany. The resulting Scars and Stories, which was named after an unused B-side, was preceded by the single “Heartbeat” and will be released on February 7, 2012. (Andrew Leahey, Rovi)
