Payne’s Grey Sky

The seed that eventually became American-roots band Payne’s Grey Sky was planted in the summer of 2007 by high school friends Rich Dymond (bass, guitar) and Jimi Scheffel (vocals, guitar), with Dave Sahloff (drums/percussion) joining soon after.

Usually performing as a trio, Payne’s Grey Sky’s influences are many. They draw from classics and contemporary acts, including:

• Dylan, The Band, Van Morrison
• Damien Rice, The Lumineers, The Avett Brothers
