Jared Gray: (Vocals, Guitar) Jared was born in Dallas, Texas but his roots run in Bartlesville, Oklahoma where he moved when he was 8.  In his early years, Jared was too busy with sports to focus on music. At 14, music got the best of him and he started playing the drums in a Southern Gospel church.  Jared later picked up the piano, bass, guitar, and discovered his golden pipes. He earned a spot at the prestigious Oral Robert’s University and began singing on TV. He received an internship at a church in Grand Junction, Colorado where he met Rod Taylor, son of the founder of Taylor Guitars, and guitarist Matt Griffith. Rod convinced Jared to pursue his dreams in Nashville and the rest is history.
