David Gray & Sierra Spirit Bring Folk Rock Energy to Boston’s MGM Music Hall [Photos]

David Gray kicked off the first leg of his “Past and Present Tour” on Friday night at MGM Music Hall in Boston. Gray, a British musician and singer was accompanied by up-and-coming star Sierra Spirit, opening the tour for him.

Spirit started off the show by performing all six songs from her EP Cointoss, along with her new single “American Pie,” which comes out January 28th. She was accompanied onstage by guitarist Christine Meisenhelter, stage name Mistine, and the two were complete magic together. Spirit’s haunting vocals and impactful lyrics seemed to really resonate with the crowd. Overall, it was a beautiful performance, especially impressive considering this is Spirit’s first-ever tour.

Then, it was time for the main event; David Gray came out to raucous applause and cheering from the sold-out crowd. He opened with his song “After The Harvest” and finished with arguably his most famous song, “Babylon.” He then came out for an encore, performing a beautiful rendition of Mitski’s song “My Love Mine All Mine.” Throughout his whole performance, he was energized and clearly seemed to be having a blast interacting with the audience! He commanded the stage during the entire two-hour set, and it was impossible not to want to sing and dance along with him.

Overall, the performances from both Gray and Spirit were fun and memorable, and this is definitely a tour anyone would enjoy going to! If you want to see more, check out our photos from the tour down below!
