The band, Atlas Gray, recently finished recording their first full-length album, Through The Dark, slated for release in the winter of 2021.
Andy Sorenson and Jon Stoltzfus met as students at Downingtown East High School. Sorenson is a guitarist as well as producer and engineer. Stoltzfus, a native of Exton, is Atlas Gray s drummer.

That made them get in touch with me and I ended up doing a tour with them later that year, so I’ve known them since then.”
