SINGER Macy Gray is to appear at The Anvil on February 10 next year.

A gifted songwriter and dazzling singer, the Grammy Award-winning artist Macy Gray has been overturning fan expectation and industry formula since her debut 2000 album, On How Life Is.

Both the album and classic single I Try were massive global hits. They kicked off a career ride that includes multiple Grammys and MTV awards, over 25 million units sold, and a thriving acting career.

Macy will only play five UK dates on this 2015 tour, one of which is The Anvil performance.

Tickets go on sale on Friday, November 21 at 10am.
