Josh Graff was born September 4, 1985 in the small town of Warner Robins, GA, located about fifteen miles south of Macon. At the age of nine Graff picked up his fathers guitar and immediately fell in love with it. A few years later he began taking lessons from a well-known local guitar player and teacher named Bruce Whitten. As a budding blues guitarist in his early teens, Graff caused a buzz in the local bar scene. People soon began to realize that he was on a mission. That mission was to make room for a kid in a music scene dominated by professionals three times his age, and to make music that people can hear, enjoy, and relate to. Mission impossible? No.
After a few years of shredding his Fender Stratocaster and independently releasing an album at the age of thirteen, Graff realized he was never going to be Jimi Hendrix or Stevie Ray Vaughan. It was time for Josh Graff to find himself. He purchased an acoustic guitar and began writting songs about love found, love lost, and his desire to leave his small town life behind and move on. By the age of sixteen Josh Graff released his second independent album, entitled A Bigger, Better Place..., and managed to earn respect as a solo artist. Touring the local college bar scene and selling copies of his new release, while still in high school, led to the next chapter in Josh Graffs life. I felt it was time to spend a little money, take a lot of time, and get things done the right way., said Graff.
With a new attitude and a full band, Graff entered the studio to record a full-length, all-original album entitled Six String Sadness. At the age of nineteen Josh Graff had become a singer, songwriter, guitarist, touring performer, and now producer. When asked about the inspiration for the songs on Six String Sadness, Graff said, Most of the songs are just about whats been going on in my life; girls, friends, and problems Ive faced over the past year or so. With songs anyone can relate to, Six String Sadness is a must have for any CD collection.
Gavin DeGraw on Josh Graff- "He's a very talented young man!"
Michael Tolcher on Josh Graff- "He's got some groovy tunes. I definatly hear a soul blossoming...he's one of the most dedicated musicians I've met in a while!"
The Macon Telegraph on Josh Graff-
"John Mayer's triumphant appearance at the Grammys was an auspicious sign to all the Georgia singer-songwriters strumming in cafes and filling spiral notebooks with lyrics. Graff, of Warner Robins, has a leg up on the competition running for Mayer's office: He's only 19 and he's already recorded an album full of smart, hummable tunes. "Six String Sadness" has more growl than the title implies - think Collective Soul unplugged."
The Houston Journal on Josh Graff-
"When he plays, signs of youth fade away, and the music takes hold."
