Nathan Graham

The Venue is proud to present Nathan Graham on Friday, October 17th.

“A powerhouse singer with a deep drive to connect, the Chicago-born-and-raised Graham tenderly wraps his fears and anxieties in velvety arrangements infused with a wide range of influences from rock and folk to soul and blues.” - NO DEPRESSION

“Graham clearly emerges as a singer-songwriter with a gift for melodic, infectious hooks that blend soul, pop, and even country. It’s refreshing; he’s not the cut-from-the-same-cloth type that often emanates from Nashville or Austin. His guitar is present but clearly in a supporting role as Graham’s rich, deep voice, and the songs themselves assume the focus.” - MAKING A SCENE

⭐ NATHAN GRAHAM ⭐

When you think of a singer-songwriter, who comes to mind?

Nathan Graham says it probably isn’t somebody who looks like he does, and he wants to change that.

Born and raised in Chicago, Graham meshes South Side Blues with Nashville Americana, beginning his career backing blues singers at famous haunts like Buddy Guy’s Legends and Kingston Mines. He spent a decade as a guitar-for-hire before picking up a mic to tell his own stories on the stage.

Soulful and steady, Graham’s music offers a raw introspective of the human condition that’s both painful and comforting. His guitar conveys heartbreak, lyrics tell stories of regret, but his rich vocal delivery offers the remedy.

Having brought his songs on international tours with both major label and indie acts, Graham is challenging the notion of what it means to be a singer-songwriter. He’s driving inclusivity within the genre, and he hopes to evoke a sense of understanding in the process.

“I’m writing about universal experiences,” he says. “I’m writing music to connect my story to yours, show you all that we have in common, and maybe help both of us feel less alone.”
