The music of the Foto Sisters is a charming and unique blend of sacred, classical, cinematic, and pop styles, with a hint of Celtic. Audiences across the United States have been delighted and inspired by their heartfelt melodies and graceful instrumentation. For over seventeen years, this classically-trained sibling trio has appeared in many different venues, including churches, conferences, schools, cantatas, weddings, and charity events. “It’s hard to remember life as sisters without music,” says Gaylyn.

In 2015 the Foto Sisters were invited to perform for the National Day of Prayer held at the Louisiana State Capitol, followed by 2016 and 2017 appearances at the Louisiana Governor’s Prayer Breakfast. Other performance opportunities include the National Quartet Convention, regular appearances at the Creation Museum, and performing the United States National Anthem at two NFL games: the New Orleans Saints, and the Denver Broncos. Aside from solo appearances across the country, the Foto Sisters have performed with many nationally acclaimed artists.

As of 2018, the sisters now spend most of their time in Nashville, TN recording, collaborating, and writing with other musicians. When not on the road, the Foto sisters can be found pursuing various hobbies, enjoying their pets, playing regular games of Ultimate Frisbee, and connecting heart-to-heart with friends around the family table.

A Christian singer/songwriter, Jason Gray bridges the gap between inward-thinking contemporary folk and hook-minded pop, adding his own spiritual perspective to the mix. Gray emerged in the 2000s and gained wider recognition after signing to Centricity Music. He is a two-time ASCAP Performance Award winner and has scored two Top Ten Christian chart hits with “Good to Be Alive” off 2011’s A Way to See in the Dark and “With Every Act of Love” off 2014’s Love Will Have the Final Word. His fifth album, 2016’s Where the Light Gets In, peaked at number five on Billboard’s Christian Albums Chart.

Moved by the straightforward honesty and devotional nature of his songs, Centricity Music signed Gray in 2006; the label released the heartfelt All the Lovely Losers the following year. The live recording Acoustic Storytime and Everything Sad Is Coming Untrue followed in 2008 and 2009, respectively. Gray’s singable soul-searching reached its largest audience with the release of 2011’s A Way to See in the Dark, which landed on the Billboard Top Christian Albums and Heatseekers Albums charts.

In addition to his work as a musician, Gray is a devoted advocate for youths facing hardships, especially African orphans of AIDS, through World Vision International’s Hope Initiative. The following year saw him release his first collection of holiday music, the Cason Cooley-produced Christmas Stories: Repeat the Sounding Joy, and in 2014 he issued a new studio album, the chart-topping Love Will Have the Final Word. 2016’s Where the Light Gets In, his fifth long-player, debuted at number five on the Billboard Christian Albums chart, and at 165 on the Billboard Top 200. Following an album recorded with his son Kipper Gray, he returned in 2019 with Order, the first of a trilogy of five-song EPs.
