The Fray

About the artist

Following a triumphant return in 2024 after a decade-long hiatus, The Fray will soon kick off their How to Save a Life: 20th Anniversary Tour, celebrating two decades of their iconic debut album. The multi-Platinum-selling band - composed of lead vocalist, guitarist, and primary songwriter Joe King, guitarist Dave Welsh, and drummer Ben Wysocki - continues to captivate audiences with the emotional depth and cinematic sweep of their music. Originally rising to prominence in the early 2000s, the Colorado-bred group introduced a uniquely soul-searching alt-rock sound—timeless yet inventive, arena-sized yet profoundly intimate. Over the years, The Fray has earned four GRAMMY Award nominations, three Billboard Music Awards, multiple Billboard Top 10 hits, and a deeply devoted global fanbase. Their breakout single, “How To Save A Life,” spent 58 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and became a defining anthem of ABC’s Emmy-winning series “Grey’s Anatomy.” Praised by Rolling Stone for their “stick-in-your-head hooks and eloquent narratives” and by the Los Angeles Times for their “melodically rich” songwriting, The Fray’s 2005 debut album How To Save A Life is RIAA-certified 4x Platinum in the U.S. and remains one of the best-selling digital debuts of all time. The next chapter of music is on the way, beginning with new single, "My Heart's A Crowded Room," available now.
