Tony Graham

Songwriter living in Central Oregon. Been writing and performing for 25 years.

Here are just a couple reviews.

Robert Jones (Arista Records)
”Jim Croce has risen from the dead!! I can only pray that Tony Graham makes a much longer run of it. The world has been starving for this timeless style of songwriting to return. The outstanding talent of this artist could feed the masses for decades!”

Patrick Santiago (Artist Management: Ret.)
”I wish I we're still in the business. Very rarely does a singer songwriter of this caliber come along. Whoever has their hands on this guy have their hands full of gold. Exceptional!”

Review by Michael P. Jones (Great Northwest Music Preview)

"The music of singer-songwriter Tony Graham seemingly makes you levitate off the ground, allowing you to mistakenly believe that you are actually "dancing on air". And, yet, in reality he writes and sings those songs that invokes those special kinds of feelings similar to when you fall in love.
It can't get much better than that.
This singer-songwriter is one of the absolute best in the Pacific Northwest, or anywhere else for that matter, with his mastery of lyrical stories and enchanting music that all helps to nourish the listener's soul.
Without the songs of Graham, this world would not be the same.
When Graham performs live it's hard to imagine anyone else taking to the stage that would be as talented in song-writing or as gifted in his ability to overwhelm the audience with his abundance of creativity. He tends to give songs a life of their own through his superb arrangements and easy- to-identify-with lyrics.
I first met Graham when he was a cashier at the local Thriftway store in the Village of Welches, Oregon, nestled in the southwestern foothills of Mount Hood. He was paying his dues to make ends meet while writing songs.
Looking at Graham, I had no idea that not only could he write songs, but he could also perform them. When he took to the Great Northwest Music stage at the "Mount Hood Huckleberry Festival & Barlow Trail Days", he literally stole the show. Then, when he returned for the "Mount Hood Salmon & Mushroom Festival" and did the same thing, it was clear that this guy was no ordinary run-of-the-mill singer-songwriter; he was one of the best...only unknown.

On stage, Graham can freeze a crowd in place; almost humorously, they'll stop and contemplate the words he's singing, realizing that the story that is held within the grip of his song must be about them. Somehow, someway, this singer-songwriter crawled into their souls and was now spilling out their most personal of feelings.
Other people who listen to Graham think that either he sounds like the now-reclusive Cat Stevens, who has been absent from the music scene for many years now, or, could it actually be that Stevens sounds much like Graham?
The resemblance is remarkable."
