TEXAS IN JULY Drummer To Perform On 'The Tonight Show With Jay Leno'

May 17, 2011

TEXAS IN JULY drummer Adam Gray will perform on tonight's (Tuesday, May 17) edition of "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" on NBC-TV.

"The Tonight Show" airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. EST. Check local listings for details.

A video of Gray juggling three drumsticks while simultaneously drumming has gone viral (see below) and along the way has received appreciation from the likes of Ryan Seacrest, Travis Barker of BLINK-182, Hayley Williams of PARAMORE, PerezHilton.com, CBSNews.com and, of course, "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno".

Gray will perform his unique multi-tasking skills in a skit called "Does This Thrill, Bill?", where he will try to impress the judge, legendary actor William Shatner.

Gray says of the experience, "I'm honored to have been selected to perform on 'The Tonight Show'. Everyone at the show that we've worked with so far has been incredibly supportive. I can't thank them enough for such a great opportunity. I can't wait to take the stage."

"We're all so excited that such a large audience is going to get to see how talented Adam is behind the drum kit," says TEXAS IN JULY's Ben Witkowski. "Adam is always practicing and working on new tricks, but we're still always fascinated by what he's able to do. Everyone on our tour is planning on watching the show together and cheering Adam on. We're all really looking forward to it."

TEXAS IN JULY's new full-length album, "One Reality", sold around 3,300 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 173 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD landed at position No. 2 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.
