3-time Billboard award-winner and 4-time Grammy-nominated rock group ready for fans to join in the action at the RW Epicenter for one-night-only performance
MONTICELLO, N.Y.

Hailing from Denver, CO, the rock sensation was formed in 2002 by schoolmates Isaac Slade and Joe King. They wasted little time achieving international success with the release of their debut album, “How to Save a Life” in 2005, which was certified double platinum by the RIAA and platinum in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and England. The Fray has received four Grammy nominations and three Billboard Music awards in their 16-year career, including wins for “Digital Album Artist of the Year” and “Digital Song Artist of the Year” for their self-titled “The Fray” in 2006.
“We are thrilled to welcome The Fray back to the Catskills, furthering our commitment to bringing the best and most-varied lineup of artists to our guests, while also providing the best in luxury entertainment and gaming,” said Kevin Kline, Chief Operating Officer and General Manager of Resorts World Catskills. “As we begin to kick off our entertainment, we look forward to giving our guests more reasons to return to Resorts World Catskills.”

About The Fray
The band premiered the lead single “Love Don’t Die,” produced by Ryan Tedder (Adele, One Republic), on the “Today Show.” A flurry of TV performances followed the release as the band performed on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” rang in the New Year as part the global TV celebration “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2014,” and recently performed on the outdoor stage at “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and “The Late Show with David Letterman.”
Most recently, the band performed alongside Pussy Riot as part of Amnesty International’s Bring Human Rights Home show at Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn, NY. Guitarist Joe King explained the importance of the evening, “To me, [Pussy Riot] made me realize how apathetic I can get as an American,” King said. “You can get real critical or not do anything about what you think should change and just let things happen. They’re doing the opposite. They’re going public… It’s inspiring to see that. I think that, if anything, it motivates. It should motivate people to do something.”
The Fray is Slade, Joe King (guitar, vocals), Dave Welsh (guitar), and Ben Wysocki (drums). The Denver-based group formed in 2002 after high school friends Slade and King bumped into each other at a local guitar shop. The Fray achieved national success with their 2005 debut, featuring the hit singles “Over My Head (Cable Car)” and “How to Save a Life,” which went double-platinum. The band also earned a 2010 Grammy nomination for their self-titled release.
