<p>What a great night it was this past Saturday, 4-18-15.. at Bryan and Mary Chan's house in Granada Hills, CA. Excellent, attentive audience who stayed with us though all 15 songs. The band, Greg Samuel (flugal horn, trombone and stand-up bass), WendySue Rosloff (percussion and autoharp), Greg Krueger (bass, mandolin, 12 string guitar) and Lisa Johnson (background vocals) provided outstanding support for us (Earl Grey and David Piper - Piper-Grey), as we forged through every song on the "Live At THE ONION!" album (released December, 2014, on TROUGH RECORDS). Earl and I agreed... it was arguably our best performance which is saying something because there have been some pretty good ones.</p>
<p>Many Thanks to all supporters, and to those who made it out to hear us live. And to the Chan's... you're the greatest!</p>

<p>SourceURL:file:///Users/pipdm/Desktop/The%20Piper.doc</p>
<p>The Piper-Grey album, "Piper-Grey LIVE at The Onion", is mixed (15 tracks) and ready to master. To get this far we have received great support from those of you who came out to see us perform these songs on May 22, 2014, at the Onion in North Hills, CA. It was a great evening!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now we face another hurdle to completion... paying for the mastering, duplication and printing of the cd and the artwork. That price tag is $2,000, <strong>which we hope to raise by October 20</strong>, the date we have set to master the album. In order for us to get the finished cd to you by the holidays we must finish by the end of October with everything!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We are asking for $20.00, which will get you a copy of the cd AND your name on the album for having supported us! A Pay Pal account on our website, piper-grey.com, has the appropriate button to push and you can certainly order more than one if you wish. If you would rather pay directly by check, you can make the check payable to Piper-Grey (make sure to include your mailing address!) and send to:</p>

<p>"Beautiful album.
Piper-Grey well produced indeed. Great vibes, sweet, soothing and uplifing harmonies throughout, "Drive All Night" and all the rest! "Apples" reminescent of Buffalo Springfield, you guys have the vocals dialed in, and you sure can pick them git-tars.
"Glossolilla" mighty pretty. Dig the rock-gospel dobro on "Tookie", and the spirit permeating the whole album actually. "Your love was always stronger than a storm"; that line got me.
Orchestral ending on "Open Sails", and the abrupt ending on "Tookie" reprise, nice touches.
Great job you guys. I really am enjoying it! Thanks for doing the trade it's worth more than gold."</p>

<p>Played last night with Earl Grey, as part of the duo "Piper~Grey" at a community center in Newbury Park, CA. The Fireside Concert Series, run by Bob Kroll, had a last minute cancellation and he asked us to fill in. We played a half-hour set (six songs) to open the evening, followed by the fine works of Brad Colerick and then Sabrina & Craig.
Great audience.. filled the room (about 100 people) who hung on every word and note. Earl and I have not played publicly since May but have been practicing and it showed. We played well. When that happens, there is a transcendency to the experience that is palpable. It carries.
A similar experience, musically, took place in Cleveland OH, about a month ago. I played a wedding reception with some old band mates of mine ("The Late Show"; Jack Hire, Robin Jung, Steve Bain, Billy Piper and myself with Paul Roberts on the drums) and damn was it fun! We had not played in six years, had one rehearsal in July, and still we managed to find a vein and a way to run with it. Great musicians all.. what a joy to play with them again. The response was electric with people up and not just dancing... letting it loose out there in front of us.
Last night in Newbury Park, Earl's hometown by the way, had some magical moments when the music seemed to take flight, bigger than both us. Piper~Grey is an experience like none other I've had. I look forward to the next time.</p>

<p>This past Monday night (3/23/09) in South Pasadena, TROUGH RECORDS showcased nearly all of the artists on the label in an evening of acoustic acts at the Fremont Center Theatre. Every act "brought their A-game", said Dave Morrison, a terrific songwriter who performed that night. It was great song after great song. Many thanks to Lois Tedrow for all she did to provide the space for all of us to perform and husband Tim who not only ran the sound board, but also performed as half of the fine duo, Tedrow-Vreeland. You can learn more about all of the artists on TROUGH RECORDS at... http://www.trough.com</p>

<p>Trough Records proudly announces the release of APPLES (Catalogue No. TRCP 1314), the debut album from Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter duo PIPER-GREY.
Recorded at Tin Drum Studios with such great musicians as Freebo on fretless bass, Matt Brown on keyboards, Greg Krueger on mandolin and legendary Ambrosia drummer Burleigh Drummond (who also engineered the album), coproduced by David and Earl and featuring 11 new songs (8 of which the duo cowrote), APPLES presents two superbly talented artists bringing out the best in each other and their art.
Filled with beauty, love and adventure ("Ireland," "Tempe," "This Winter's Lullaby" and the spiritually-tinged title track), wistful memories ("Ioway"), celebration ("Open Sails" and the rollicking opener "Anyone Else in the World") and cries for justice and unvarnished rage against war and political gamesmanship ("Tookie," "The Decider"), APPLES soars with the emotion of two gifted voices and unquestionable musical talents forming one incredible sound.</p>
