Hey friends,

Hello friends,

Wishing each and every one of you a very happy 4th of July weekend. I just got back from playing Orlando and WXXL’s ‘Red White & Boom.’ My flight was late getting into Orlando so I got off the plane, into the car, onto the boat, and straight to the stage. Yes, I said onto the boat. You see, the stage was literally floating in the middle of a lake and only accessible by boat. I have had several forms of backstage transportation (SUV, golf cart, etc) in my vast career of ‘soft rocking’ but the boat takes the cake. I love playing acoustic gigs because it allows me to get up close and personal with the fans but this was by far the most interesting acoustic performance ever. Considering the stage was 100 yards away from the audience, I wasn’t sure how the whole ‘solo’ show would connect. Suprisingly, the Orlando’ans were really into it and I even got a few ‘soft rock sways’ during ‘Best Days.’ WXXL is a great radio station and they have really supported me and I can’t wait to get back to Orlando. Hope to see you at my shows in July.

Cheers,
GC

"I've never felt more like myself than I have on this album. I found myself, and I finally found my voice," the singer, songwriter and guitarist Graham Colton says of the forthcoming CD, Here Right Now.

Don't call it a simple return. Call it a metamorphosis, a deep progression, an inspired evolution or - perhaps most fitting - a rewarding exercise in self-actualization. Stepping into his own in order to connect to his heart and artistic vision, Graham Colton has emerged with a stunning collection of pop-rock melodies, lyrics and emotions in 12 tracks that swing between love and heartbreak, trials and relief.

"The last album I made with my band was heavily influenced by what we all loved listening to and the artists we toured with. Looking back, it was hard for me to identify who I was as an artist in that situation. I had to learn how to be a performer and a songwriter in my own right before I could find my true self to make the album I really wanted to, which is now completely natural and one-hundred percent honest," Colton explains.

Although it can be said that the power of the story is in the telling, it’s the tale itself that inspires the story to be told. Performance and delivery make up only one half of the equation; the other half is the feeling and emotion that inspires the creation of melodies and lyrics. That substance is the product of lessons learned over hundreds of shows and thousands of miles traveled, and the distance in between.
