With innovative playing and a fresh new sound, HALENGRAY released their debut EP "Rough Charm" in 2007 . EBEN HALE (BONDI CIGARS) creates an amazing tapestry of sound, combining rhythm guitar and explosive soloing with all manner of percussive slapping techniques while somehow managing to underpin all this with rock solid foot percussion, Did I mention he also sings, doing all these things at the same time is no mean feat. ROB GRAY co-conspirator and best friend of 15 years, possesses a melodic and lyrical artistry that effortlessly transcends any perceived limitations of the blues harmonica. His cutting edge technique and powerfully dynamic approach to groove is the perfect foil for Eben and the two share an amazing musical empathy. BILL TREDOUX started performing on Didgeridoo in the Australian outback at Ayers Rock at the tender age of 10. An outstanding traditional player, he is also heavily involved in the design, manufacture and evolution of his instrument. Bill started sitting in with HALENGRAY from their 1st show and has naturally evolved into a full time member. He provides a huge bottom end and the evocative and distinctly Australian Didgeridoo lends a dramatic element to the sound which is a big hit with the fans. Rob and Eb both have warm, soulful voices that blend together like well. They perform their original material with heartfelt conviction.So if you like the finer things in life, have a listen to this unique contemporary acoustic Rhythm & Blues trio.
