Posted in Entertainment by sceneandheardblog on July 2, 2012

David Gray visited the Iroquois Amphitheater, Louisville, KY, on a 103% Friday evening. The record breaking heat didn’t seem to slow down Gray or his audience as he ran through his arsenal of popular songs while wearing his trademark suit. Performing to his second consecutive sold out audience Gray may have set another record by filling the amphitheater.

The high temperatures didn’t seem to bother his voice or the audience as they sang together on “Sail Away and many other of their favorites. Although still over 90 degrees after sundown no one seemed to care as they watched Gray move between piano and guitar during the show.

Yuna open the show with an entertaining set that highlighted her beautiful voice and showcased her talent on guitar and the ukelele.
