Chad Gray: Voice of Mudvayne & HELLYEAH

2 upcoming festivals

A solo billing built entirely around two decades of nu-metal and groove-metal frontman work — Mudvayne intensity and HELLYEAH swagger in one set.

Chad Gray is the singer of Mudvayne, the Peoria, Illinois band that emerged around the turn of the 2000s with a technical, bass-forward take on nu-metal and an early reputation for elaborate face paint and costumes. Their best-known songs include "Dig" and "Happy?". When Mudvayne went quiet, Gray co-founded HELLYEAH with drummer Vinnie Paul, a group working in a more straightforward Southern-inflected groove metal style. He has continued with Mudvayne since the band's return to activity. This billing presents him fronting material drawn from both projects.
