Title: Salt In The Coffee
Label: NHMM LLC
Product Type: COMPACT DISCS

"The hottest new duo in Country Pop" present their hugely anticipated debut EP, "Salt In The Coffee," a stellar set of five songs including their breakout hit "Top Down." This track shattered industry norms and continues to accrue accolades, still impacting the Country radio airwaves nearly a year on from it's original release. In July 2018, "Top Down" crossed over into Top-40 radio after being added to SiriusXM's Hits 1 by Kid Kelly. When Storme Warren championed the track late last summer on Sirius XM's "The Highway Finds," declaring it to be the first genuine US / UK Country Pop Crossover, he set in motion a chain of success that has snowballed beyond the duo's wildest dreams. In the weeks that followed, "Brown and Gray" were added to the West Coast leg of the "Highway Finds Tour." Their performances, a combination of powerful stage presence and charming and genuine rapport, caught the eye of "William Morris Endeavor," the biggest live music agency in the world. They were immediately signed and have now announced coast-to-coast dates through the end of the year. All this follows a landmark appearance at "Stagecoach 2018," headlined by the ultimate country music superstar, Garth Brooks. Earlier this year, "Rolling Stone" featured "Brown and Gray" as one of the "10 Country Artists You Need to Know." Their acclaim is not confined to North America however, and most impressively, they reached the Top 10 on BBC Radio 2 in the U.K. The EP, recorded in Nashville, London and Los Angeles, was co-produced by Sam Gray alongside the award-winning, multi-platinum writer and musician Brad Crisler, who also co-wrote three of the five tracks. The EP opens with "Home," an infectiously hooky track that underlines Sam's versatility and musical literacy, and is further underlined throughout the five song set. "Good Night" displays the duo's seemingly effortless and authentic ability for harmonies. Co-writers are the Grammy-nominated James J-Doe Smith, and acclaimed producer Michael Angelo. "This Is The Stuff" is a perfect showcase for Kaci's emotional and plaintive vocals, full of soul and personality. Their playful, rebellious streak is on full view in "Outta My System," full of swagger, with tongue firmly in cheek! The EP closes with "Top Down," already a live favorite, completing an inventive array of compositions and unpredictable arrangements. Diverse yet cohesive, "Salt In The Coffee" challenges many of the accepted rules of country music, while clearly reflecting a respect of the genre. Brown and Gray's Debut EP is released through NHMM, the game-changing label launched by global music-publisher "Notting Hill Music." The independent giants have achieved over 300 Top 10 Hits, with artists including Beyonce, Calvin Harris, Little Mix and Justin Bieber. Their vibrant, thriving pool of writers in Nashville have proved an asset in their astoundingly good first year.
