Born and raised in the New York area, Doug Graham is an eclectic and emotive composer, guitarist, and singer.
His musical foundation is rooted in the stylings of a diverse goup of greats ranging from Neil Young to Miles Davis, Bob Marley to Joao Gilberto, Bob Dylan to Oliver Nelson. If you listen carefully, you can hear a bit of each of these in his original style.
Doug spent most of his upbringing playing the guitar and composing songs. His first song entitled, "Shells" was written at the age of 12. This song expemplifies his ethereal and poetic style that has grown to be his trademark. After studying at Manhattan School of Music with Rodney Jones, Doug moved to Ithaca, NY where he co-founded and performed with Blindman's Holiday, a six piece ensemble rooted in original compositions. The band became legendary on the college circuit, opening for such artists as The Band, The Wailers, Lisa Loeb, God Street Wine, Rusted Root, etc.
After touring with Blindman's Holiday for 6 years, Doug Graham moved to NYC where he currently resides. He has developed a unique and expressive style that could be considered a new brand of music, one that deserves attention and exposure. His newest group of compositions will be released shortly on a self titled album. He currently performs throughout NYC both as a solo artist with no armor besides an acoustic guitar and his trademark "tortured voice" and also with an acoustic trio.

Sounds Like:


can you hear my thoughts over the sound of the beach. are the seabirds flying just above the clamor? a thousand hammers block our beautiful conversation as they pound the sand and brand the words with (swishes and) misinformation

The moons pull releases its swelling servant and the beach climbs out of the ocean grain at a time. and our island gets bigger like a canvas unrolling. I think I hear you now love is in your language (but the rest is still messed in the surf like our foot prints from yesterday)

the gulls can see the patterns that we rolled into the sand like ancient letters only we can understand. endless sand dunes from this birds eye view tell the story of our love affair and how rare this pair.

As we send our audio signals into oblivion something comes back Its the feeling of agreement and harmonic resolution though the words are lost at sea I can see from your crooked smiles for a hundred miles you love me.

(now) the sun sets and the haze of the waves settles down(to the horizon) Though the blood is still raging in my heart burning red like your hair our voices carry and bury any confusion, confirm the allusion and feed our dreams with wishes fulfilled.
