The rising U.S. and U.K. singer-songwriter duo Kaci Brown and Sam Gray, Brown & Gray, recently released the music video to their newest single “Last to Know.” Directed by John Logsdon, the video takes place in the heart of Napa Valley as Brown and Gray play guitar in the scenic California fields. The picturesque setting of wineries and distilleries make for a romantic getaway and their chemistry is undeniably apparent.

Brown & Gray playfully dance around in a whiskey barrel room portraying a perfect, ever-lasting relationship. However, as they sing the chorus, “If it ain’t me, if it ain’t me/Why can’t you just let me go?/’Stead of your friends tellin’ their friends/Tellin’ someone I don’t know/I don’t mind if you change your mind/That’s fine, but baby what hurts the most/Is I was the first to fall, yeah/And now I’m the last to know,” a different story unfolds.

Inspired by Gray’s depiction of a relationship he observed, “Last to Know” is filled with melancholy lyrics and beautiful harmonies, yet with a surprisingly upbeat melody. From an outside viewer’s perspective, what you would assume is the perfect relationship ends with one person being blindsided by the other after learning the news of a breakup through someone else. The video ends with a heartbroken Brown going to bed alone reflecting on what her relationship used to be like through memories in a photo album.

If you want to hear more from this talented duo, watch our Swag Session from 2017 below, where they perform their debut single “Top Down” and talk about the first time they met.

“Last to Know” is the next single released by the duo following their EP Salt in the Coffee and their successful debut single “Top Down,” which reached the Billboard Top 40 charts. Brown & Gray have been performing at festivals across the country, made an appearance at CMA Fest’s Acoustic Stage, and will be playing with Tyler Rich next month.

Brand new duo Kaci Brown and Sam Gray, also known as Brown and Gray have released their debut EP Salt In The Coffee. The EP is a compilation featuring five new songs including their smash breakout hit “Top Down”. We first caught up with Brown and Gray in December when “Top Down” had just hit the radio waves. The duo has already played across the country as a part of Sirius XM’s Highway Finds Tour as well as playing at Stagecoach.

Sam hails from the east coast of England, while Kaci is a Texas native, combine the skills and craft they honed before becoming a duo. They take turns taking the lead on vocals but always harmonize beautifully. The EP features “Good Night” which showcases a catchy, EDM backbeat, perfect for driving with the windows down or late night in the bar. While “Home” and “This Is The Stuff” is more country and traditional and “Outta My System” has a reggae vibe, the duo is proving their versatility.

Brown and Gray are performing on Long Island this summer as a part of My Country 96.1’s The Fest including Russell Dickerson and Dustin Lynch. For tickets click here, and be sure to follow Brown and Gray on their socials, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. Check out Salt In The Coffee below.
