BEYOND THE GREY Thoughtful Hard Rock What first got you into music? My parents were huge music lovers and I grew up listening to everything from Kenny Rogers and the OakRidge Boys to The Commodores, The Doobie Brothers, The Doors, Kiss, Zeppelin and Priest. Music has always been more of a soundtrack to my life than just something I listen to. I can feel it. Who inspired you to make music? I think my biggest influence in making music was Robert Smith of The Cure. I’m a very emotional person and although I don’t write or sound like him I think listening to the way he wrote about life gave me a freedom to tell my story and not be ashamed of it. How would you describe the music that you typically create? Thoughtful Hard Rock. How did you come up with the name of the band? It really boils down to this...we as a band are typically the old guys on a ticket and we all have gray in our hair...but...we also know that regardless of our age or our hair color we can still bring it. There is life yet to be lived Beyond The Grey.
