JUST GRAHAM

Graham is a songwriter at heart. Since picking up a box violin at the age of five though the Suzuki Music program in Toronto, he has always played by ear and listened for the melody.
Drawn to the intimacy and immediacy of the stage, Graham reached his 10,000 hours by performing with countless groups through the “10’s”. A singer and multi-instrumentalist, the highlight of this chapter was co-leading Canadian Indie Folk outfit Common Deer from 2014 to 2021, who toured extensively in Canada and the U.S. to support three studio releases.
In the stillness of the pandemic, song writing flooded back in. A new honesty emerged both in texture and words.
