Hey all,
Ok… so I have some explaining to do. I know I have been absent and there’s a totally good reason for it. I have been doing my best to keep those of you on facebook and twitter updated daily but have some exciting news for you ‘journal’ only readers. The writing process for my next album has been a bit different this time around. I have really wanted to keep a nice balance of writing, recording, performing, and living my life and believe it’s working for me to make the album possible. Along the way, I realize I have accumulated a large amount of songs (past and present) and want to share them with you! Team Graham Colton has been hard at work in finding the best way to give all of you the option to have all the B-sides, live tracks, and demos you can handle. Stay tuned for that info!
I recently entered the recording studio in Norman, Oklahoma and laid down a few acoustic versions of some new songs. I not only had a blast but now have the desire to share these raw versions with you. I’m not sure if this collection of songs will have a title or even be printed into actual cds but i’m very proud of what happened when we pressed the red record button. We will keep you posted on when and where you can get the EP.
Lastly, I’m hitting the road next month for a week and FINALLY visiting my west coast friends. I know I’ve promised you all too many times that new West Coast dates were on their way and now the time has come! I will be playing acoustic shows along with Bryan Greenberg & Curtis Peoples in Hermosa Beach, San Diego, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Portland. Thanks so much for all the support. See ya soon.

"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.
