My song, "Alive" was chosen by DJ Michael Stone as his favorite of all the songs uploaded in June.
For a couple of weeks in June/July I was in the Top Radio Artists and Top Radio Songs at SongPlanet. I was in the Featured Orbits Show with DJ Motmot on July 8th as well as in the Songsters Newsletter in the Featured Orbits Column.
Thank you to the wonderful DJ's at Songplanet for playing my music.
SongPlanet Rules!

BIO
Powerful, mind engraining, effortlessly engaging, gutsy, provocative, poignant and diverse, are some of the words and phrases that critics have used to describe Fran Gray's music. From the N.E.A (National Endowment for the Arts) funded and endorsed CD, Singular Intent, to her award winning follow-up, Eclectic Encounter, the music of this West Coast artist has elicited attention and interest world-wide.
Her first CD, Singular Intent, emphasized lyrical substance through intriguing musical passages in a purely pop setting drawing comparisons from the press with Alanis Morissette, Aimee Mann and Sheryl Crow.
Her follow-up CD, Eclectic Encounter, had Gray behind the engineering console, which led to her assembling her own studio. There she would delve into scores of "middle of the night" recording sessions amassed from sweat, blood, love and drive. The result was a CD that won magazine and radio awards as well as recognition that continues to reverberate with a resounding response.
Look for Fran's new CD, Contemplating the Sun, early in 2007 with a radio release through Planetary Groups.
