Issue #69- Graham Colton- "Twenty Something"


Here's a singer-songwriter that deserves much more mainstream attention than what he is currently getting.

Graham Colton got his start in Oklahoma City, and could have been a football player. (His buddy is Wes Walker of the Patriots. Together they won the Oklahoma 2A State Championship back in 1998.) Graham decided to pursue music though, and quickly worked on some demos and EPs. In 2002, one of his EPs fell into the hands of Counting Crows lead singer Adam Duritz, who invited Graham to open on their tour. In 2004, Graham teamed up with a band, and released his major label debut, "Drive." The Graham Colton Band toured extensively behind the singles "Don't Give Up On Me," "First Week," and "Cigarette." The band toured with Kelly Clarkson (with whom Graham briefly dated). In October 2007, he released his solo follow-up album, "Here Right Now." His single "Best Days" was featured on American Idol, iTunes, ABC, and HBO.

Now, Graham has recorded an acoustic EP on his own in some studios in Norman, Oklahoma, and released it through his website. Entitled, "Twenty Something EP," he released the title track as a single. Enjoy "Twenty Something" by Graham Colton.
