Certainly So

Certainly So live at Eddie's Attic!

Hailing from Birmingham, AL, childhood friends Tanner Gray and Colby Wilson have been writing music together for over a decade, drawing inspiration from The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Grateful Dead, Vampire Weekend, and John Mayer. Their music has always been defined by tight harmonies and thoughtful, evocative songwriting.

After taking different paths post-high school — Gray to Mississippi State, Wilson staying in Birmingham — the two reunited in 2019 and felt a new project taking shape. They looped in their Mississippi-born rhythm section of Chase Porter (bass) and Zach Corder (drums), and Certainly So was born. The band soon connected with producer Toby Hulbert, an Abbey Road veteran then working in Nashville alongside hitmaker Dave Cobb, who joined the team after hearing their demos. Their debut album Future Self Only Dreams was recorded at the legendary East Avalon Recording Studio in Muscle Shoals.

Since then, Certainly So has released Dreams of Green (2022), a string of singles recorded back in Muscle Shoals, and their latest album Probably Not (2024). They've been hitting the road hard ever since — opening for Shaky Graves, Brett Dennen, Fruition, and The Strumbellas, and playing major festivals including Shaky Knees, SweetWater 420 Fest, Bourbon & Beyond, and SXSW.
