Two years ago, Conan Gray graced the cover of MARVIN Magazine, capturing the essence of a rising star with his heartfelt lyrics and vibrant personality. Back then, Gray was making waves with his debut album “Kid Krow,” which soared on the charts thanks to hits like “Heather” and “Maniac.” His music spoke to a generation, echoing the trials and triumphs of young adulthood.
Fast forward to today, and Conan Gray continues to be a force in the music world. Earlier this year, he released his latest album Wishbone, a bold and emotionally charged project that showcases his continued evolution as both a writer and performer. The record sees Gray diving deeper into themes of love, loss, and self-discovery, pairing his cinematic pop sound with more intimate, alternative textures. To bring the album to life, he launched The Wishbone Pajama Show Tour across North America—an immersive, dreamlike experience that invites fans to embrace vulnerability and connection, even encouraging them to show up in pajamas as a nod to the album’s cozy, confessional energy.
