Evelyn Gray (New Haven, Connecticut) channels the rawness of human emotion into catharsis-driven anthems exploring her experience as a trans woman. Effortlessly melding elements of dark ambient, indie folk, experimental and doom, her live set transcends genre and gender alike, demanding to be witnessed. From a whisper to a scream, haunting, ethereal guitar melodies loop & layer into discordant harmony that draw you in as Gray chronicles her experiences with the highs and lows of existence. Her new EP, "How To Be Alone," (out June 30th) observes the all-too-common queer/trans experience of personal and familial relationships collapsing after coming out of the closet.https://evelyngray.bandcamp.com/
