Local musician/songwriter, Robert Gray continues to build upon the success and tremendously favorable response which has surrounded his CD "Up Until Now".

Tracks from the CD have enjoyed play on radio stations throughout the province, including Ottawa, London, Chatham, Windsor, and Leamington.

Just recently, Gray broke into the international market as he enjoyed a stint on Detroit Radio.

Carey Carlson, from 106.7 FM, who hosts the prestigious Sunday morning show "Alice's Restaurant", something of a continuation of her "Over Easy" show which she hosted when she was a DJ for 94.7 FM, invited Gray onto her show.

"I was really honoured because she only gets the best singer/songwriters", Gray commented, during a phone interview, "To have her call me up and ask me to perform was really something. I felt it was quite an accomplishment".

Carlson invited Gray onto the show after she heard his CD. He performed two songs live.

Gray hopes to build upon this "break through" and get more exposure on Detroit radio.

"This is a start," he explained, "It has really opened up some doors for me".

And if things continue as they have, Gray could soon be numbered among those "national touring artists" who typically enjoy air-time on shows like "Alice's Restaurant".
