Update #3: Final Push

Posted on October 18, 2011

Friends,

         Over the last year and a half I have played over 150 shows with multiple groups(including radio spots on NPR and every Michigan music festival/venue I can think of), and will tour the West coast and Europe over the next six months. I am doing what I set out to do so long ago. I am waking up every day and thinking about music. I am going to sleep every night humming a melody. I am doing what I love, but it is a very difficult path. Even though I'm busier than I've ever been, I still don't have much to show beyond the experiences I've had and the relationships I've made. These two things alone are worth it all for me though.

       There are less than three days left to meet the goal. Thank you so much for your support thus far. Regardless of whether or not we make it over the top, I have been re-energized by all of your donations and kind words.

That being said, there are still over 50 hours left to make one last push!

Please spread the word and link to anyone you know who might be interested in being a part. Any little bit will help.

best,

Graham

Graham

Has not connected their Facebook account.

Growing up on a farm in a tiny town in the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan, I always had dreams of traveling the world and sharing my talents. I started writing music and singing at age 14, and am now a full-time independent touring musician/recording artist with no plans to slow down. The last two years have sent me around the country multiple times with hundreds of shows played. Nothing makes me happier than writing and performing music. I can't imagine a more exciting and fulfilling path.
