Macy Gray to perform at MassEquality benefit

Celebrated singer Macy Gray will perform selections from her new album, The Sellout, to benefit local LGBT organization MassEquality on Sept. 30 at Boston's Wilbur Theatre (246 Tremont St.)

The Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter's new album is out June 22 on Concord Records (US) and features twelve brand new songs.

"The Sellout tells the story of how I found my salvation in just being myself instead of who other people thought I should be," Gray said in a press statement. "I had got to a place in my career where I tried everything that was asked of me and in doing so I lost sight of who Macy Gray really is. I spent over a year making this album without any pressure or opinions and being able to choose the co-writers, producers, and artists that felt good to me.

"As a result, it really reflects my true identity. I feel like I have finally made the album I was capable of and that my fans wanted. These are some of my favorite songs that I've written."
