Band Bio
Kev Gray and The Gravy Train are an award-winning, multi-genre band based out of England, America and Japan – depending on the weather. Based around the lyrical songwriting of lead singer, Kev Gray, their music is a melting pot of lush melodies from acoustic lounge, folk gospel, bossa, funk, original blues and blue-eyed jazz. A fusion of traditional genres, resulting in an antidote to modern conformity. Soulful vocal textures add a nice polish to contemporary lyrical content that mirror everyday themes – cold feet at the altar, the rat race, having children, escaping responsibility, swingers parties, the inability to grow up. The band’s mission is unashamedly that of bringing music back to the listener.
During the Covid lockdown, Kev embraced the opportunity to reinvent himself as a recording artist and is finalizing a new lockdown-inspired album – Time To Live Again – using fellow musicians from over 30 countries recorded and arranged online by Thomas Hilse. Singles will build up to the album release during 2021. The new album will show an artist with the rare ability to transcend difficult conditions and creating truly moving music perfectly suited to the chaotic yet incredible times we are living in.

(Kev Gray/Thomas Hilse)
Somebody told me
I was so lonely
I can’t disagree
People who know me
Tell me it’s wrong
That I should be alone
Look at me now
Look at me now
But still I believe
Lost in the dark
Waiting too long
Time for me to be free
But it’s our time now
I see you’re beautiful
And the stars will shine
Time to live again
Somebody told me
You were so lonely
This I can’t believe
People who know you
Tell me it’s wrong
For you to be alone
Look at me now
Look at me now
I see you’re beautiful
Lost in the Dark
Waitin’ too long
Time for you to be free
But it’s our time now
Time to love again
And the stars will shine
Till the morning light
Kick in the doors
Turn off the light
Time to live again
Lost in the dark
Waitin’ too long
Time to live again
Twenty-four days
Locked in a cage
Heart full of pain
Barrel of rage
Went to the river
Washed my hands
Washed away the sins
Of that other man
But it’s our time now
Time to love again
And the stars will shine
Till the morning light
Kick in the doors
Turn off the light
I see you’re beautiful
Lost in the Dark
Waitin’ too long
Time to live again
And it’s our time now
And the Stars will shine
Till the Morning light
And the Stars will shine
Till the morning light
Kick in the doors
Turn off the light
Time to Live Again
