Hot off the success of their self-titled sophomore album
(which debuted at #1 spot on the Billboard charts), Denver-based The
Fray make a special appearance at the Vilar Performing Arts Center on
March 6 at 9:30pm, presented by VH1 Lift Ticket to Ride. All proceeds
benefit the VH1 Save the Music Foundation, as well as VPAC educational
efforts. 
And what a time it's been for the Fray: the group played to sold-out
crowds around the world in support of 2005's How to Save a Life
(Epic/Sony), which went on to sell more than 3 million copies in the
U.S. Melodically charged hits "Cable Car (Over My Head)" and the title
track worked their way onto the radio and into the hearts of fans - not
to mention onto the soundtrack of TV phenom "Grey's Anatomy." Throw in a
trio of Grammy nominations, and you've got the kind of out-of-the-gate
explosion that any young artist would envy.
In the summer of 2007, the group began work on their new record.
Reunited with producers Mike Flynn and Aaron Johnson, the bandmates
began their explorations for the second album at a storied facility in
Sausalito, Calif., The Plant. But it was at a nondescript studio back
home in the suburbs of Denver where they felt most comfortable, putting
in workmanlike hours six days a week to write and record the follow-up
to their hugely successful debut.  Their sophomore album, The Fray was
released in February 2009 and debuted at No. 1 on Billboard album
charts.
The bar at the VPAC will open at 8pm on Friday March 6, with doors to
the theatre opening at 9pm. Tickets are general admission, so arrive
early for preferred seating. The concert starts at 9:30pm.
