Hallo, Czesc and jia sas from chiosradio.gr! Music is one of the most important parts of our life and
that's why we provide you with fresh and inspirational Artists every week. This week we have the
folk-pop duo „The Gray Havens“ from the US for you!

Husband and wife Dave and Licia Radford are The Gray Havens, a folk-pop duo whose unique
 songs are equally catchy and deep. Their debut full-length recording, Fire And Stone, is being hailed as “a phenomenal recording,” and reached the Top 10 on national mainstream Singer-Songwriter charts.

Dave began writing, performing, and recording as a solo artist already in college. When he and Licia met you would think that their musical talents threw them together but nope, actually it was another passion that made them fall for each other: they connected over a common love of literature and Dave had no idea of Licia’s musical giftedness yet.

It was only after they stopped dating for a while when Dave’s mother, an accomplished musician and music educator, offered Licia free vocal lessons—partly to keep her around their house on a regular basis. “The first time I heard her singing voice, I was floored,” Dave remembers. “And not long after that
we started singing and performing together.”
The Gray Havens credit a local Chicago coffee shop, Conscious Cup, with helping them build their band. The owners gave the duo a regular performance slot and even created “The Gray Havens Blend” as trubite to the local audience. Dave & Licia Radford’s richly textured compositions and unexpected, imaginative lyrics create a listening experience similar to paging through your favorite book.

Here we go with one of their most famous songs: Silver!
