May 27, 2019Incomparable, incredible,and highly entertaining!
Having Lain Gray perform, with all of his offerings of style mastery, strumming, crooning, and being a presence of melodious wonder, was for us and would be for anyone who books him...the highlight of the event. I am already thinking of a way to book him again, and our guests have not stopped thanking us for exposure to such talent. Even the opening musicians stayed to enjoy the show!

Thanks for your kind words Allie. It was a beautiful day for the happy couple. The father daughter dance made me think of my 8 year old. The interaction during the dance showed how close they are, later confirmed by the story board photos of the two of them from the day she was born to present day. I pray to have such a great relationship with my daughter through the years. Thanks for allowing me to share some of your special day.
Blessed
Lain
