Bio |

When I’m willing to work out of my weakness, there are more chances for God to show up and for the unexpected to happen. My strengths--which are really quite modest--are limited to me, but with my weaknesses, the possibilities are boundless. - Jason Gray
If we can agree with the fashion industry that “pink is the new black,” and “orange is the new pink,” then maybe it’s not such a stretch to suggest that “pop is the new punk.” At least the label seems to fit when you’re referencing an artist like Jason Gray.
The real difference being that while punk outspokenly aligned itself against established political power, Jason’s rebellion plays out more quietly as a disarming ability to utterly disregard the power that shame holds over most of us, in light of the grace that’s offered to those who acknowledge their brokenness. At its core, Jason’s understated songwriting seems to be about redefining what true strength really is, and if the thoughtful collection of songs on Gray’s Centricity Records debut has anything to tell us, it’s probably that “Weakness is the new strength.”
While the veteran indie-artist’s first three organic, folk-laced projects garnered gushing critical accolades and landed him an opening slot on Sara Groves’ 2002 tour and stage time with Barlowgirl, Shaun Groves and other notables, it wasn’t primarily the literate craftsmanship of his songs that drew the immediate respect of his peers and a solid fanbase to him. It was, rather, Jason’s candor, his transparency, his willingness to expose his own weaknesses night after night that created an inexplicable bond with audiences and prompted Centricity Records to sign him in 2006. When a guy who grew up as a chronic stutterer in an abusive home takes the mic and obviously cares more about loving you than about what you think of him, you know something’s up.
