The Gray Havens - FREE Concert in Brecksville

The Gray Havens - Friday, March 20 at 7:30 pm at Brecksville United Methodist Church

Many musical artists crossover into other mediums, drawing inspiration from one creative form and appropriating it for another. What differentiates the husband & wife duo of The Gray Havens from other artists is how effortlessly they blend fantasy story, lyric poetry, theology and song to produce a sublime narrative-folk-pop. Dave & Licia Radford’s richly textured compositions and unexpected, imaginative lyrics create a listening experience similar to paging through your favorite book.

Their latest album – Fire And Stone – is the fruit of collaboration, helmed in the studio by GRAMMY® Award-winning Mitch Dane (Brandon Heath, JJ Heller) and includes contributions from Stephen Mason (Jars of Clay) and Tyler Somers (Jenny & Tyler), among others. Featuring 10 songs written or co-written by the Radfords, the album is an exuberant and hopeful declaration, the songs conveying a common theme of joy and its counterfeits. This dichotomy is nowhere more evident than on the Celtic-stomp-flavored track, “The Stone.”

There is an evident theological undercurrent present in Gray Havens’ songs. Often this is expressed in stories, which occupy space with major influences—C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. For writers Dave and Licia, the lines between fantasy, lyric poetry and song lyric are very thin indeed.

The Gray Havens will perform on Friday, March 20, at 7:30pm at Brecksville United Methodist Church, located on the square in Brecksville. As always, this concert is free and open to the public. Invite your friends!
