Macy Gray bringing 25th anniversary tour to Patchogue in November

Grammy Award-winning recording artist Macy Gray will bring her “On How Life Is 25th Anniversary Tour” to the Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts on Nov. 7.

Tickets for her 8 p.m. show go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. and can be purchased in person at the box office, by phone at 631.207.1313, or online.

Known for her raspy, Billie Holiday-like voice and soulful style, Gray rose to fame with her 1999 debut album “On How Life Is,” which went triple platinum and introduced her global hit “I Try.”

The track earned her a Grammy Award in 2000 for Best Pop Vocal Performance. It was one of five Grammy nominations she has garnered across her career.

Gray has also won two BRIT Awards and two MTV Video Music Awards, while selling more than 25 million albums worldwide.

The anniversary tour will showcase songs from “On How Life Is,” along with other fan favorites from her catalog, which blends R&B, soul and funk.

Originally from Canton, Ohio, Gray discovered her voice almost by accident while attending the University of Southern California for screenwriting. When a singer failed to show up for a demo session, she stepped in, sparking the start of her career.

Over the past quarter-century, Gray has collaborated with such acclaimed artists as Bobby Brown, Ariana Grande, Jennifer Lopez and Galactic. She has also built a reputation as a dynamic live performer, selling out venues across the globe.

Her work extends beyond music, with appearances in films including “Training Day,” alongside Denzel Washington, and Tyler Perry’s “For Colored Girls.” She has also acted in television productions, including h “Fuller House,” “Brotherly Love” and “Cardboard Boxer.”

Tickets for her Patchogue performance are priced between $50 and $80, including fees.
