Graham Whorley is currently promoting his recently released debut solo CD "State of Affairs" and is bringing his "Get Out and Vote" theme to cities in South Carolina, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia. Graham registered over 250 people in the Charleston area alone last summer and is hoping for a much larger registration at the shows this coming year. After losing his 39 year old sister, Laura Williams to ALS, (otherwise known as Lou Gehrig's Disease) a little over two years ago, Graham has been passionate about using his right to vote and is hoping others will raise their voice as well, regardless of what side of the fence they stand on.
Graham Whorley has had the pleasure of sharing the stage in the last year with several notable musicians including Tim Reynolds (longtime Dave Matthews collaborator,) Michael Glabicki of Rusted Root, New Riders of The Purple Sage, Lee Oskar of WAR, Efrem Towns (trumpet) of The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Colonel Bruce Hampton, Brock Butler of Perpetual Groove and most recently Chris Wood (founding memeber of Medeski, Martin, and Wood) and his brother Oliver Wood (of King Johnson.)
Graham Whorley's debut solo CD "State of Affairs" is NOW AVAILABLE online through iTunes and CDBaby.
