Biography
Gray Parsons has hailed from Austin, Texas since 2001. Gray brings a dynamic and versatile approach to each situation - from the high intensity of The Heavenly States to the Saharan funk of Zoumountchi and the indie pop song craft of The Lovely Sparrows. His university background in music education (BM) and percussion (MM) have also helped him bring percussion and drum lessons to classrooms and private students of all ages for over 25 years.
