Her long reverb tails and massive echoes are her trademark and her vocal processor is used to great effect. He also plays a large djembe while playing basslines with his toes! He trades El Greys acoustic guitar and ukulele throughout the set.Ī duet clearly in control of their sound and production, El Grey uses the Boss vocal processor for hands-on control of her reverb and delay effects. Chris programs percussive loops using a MIDI interface and laptop. A talented musician, she also plays the ukulele with a grace I’ve never seen before- no tacky jokey jingle-jangle here- her unique guitar fingerpicking style translates beautifully onto her charming little instrument.Īccompanied by Chris Topher on percussion and live electronic MIDI sequencing, her music takes on another dimension.

During her performance she seems to enter another state of consciousness- a higher state of mind- her voice expressing her deepest emotions through soaring notes, beautiful on-sets and releases- a very dreamy sound world. I watched her performance in absolute delight, superbly skilled in acoustic guitar- flawlessly, effortlessly fingerpicking- a natural player. A voice you will never forget once you’ve heard it. Her range is astounding and her style is unique. I was in awe of El Greys voice- her vocal is powerful, expressive, delicate, haunting and strong- all at the same time. One of those gigs that literally takes your breath away. One of those gigs where the hairs on your arms stand on end. It was one of those gigs where you felt like the singer was singing only to you. Last night I finally got to see El Grey live! I have been waiting for an ideal opportunity to hear the voice of El Grey herself live for a long time and last nights performance at the Lockup Big Day Out gig in the Spirit Store, Dundalk, did not disappoint.
