SUMMARY:JD Graham Returns to the Venue
DESCRIPTION:In 2023\, JD Graham officially entered his name into the songwriting annals with the release of his new album “Pound Of Rust” on June 23rd. Recorded at the Skinny Elephant in East Nashville and produced by Neilson Hubbard (Glen Phillips\, Mary Gauthier\, Kim Richey\, Ben Glover\, Amy Speace) \nand acclaimed songwriter Ryan Culwell\, this spacious group of songs are the uninhibited testimony of a man with nothing left to lose. No bells and whistles\, just Graham and his guitar\, the album’s atmosphere is as raw as its telling captured in a live performance setting. The title-track is the hard taskmaster to which all the other songs fall into line. It’s a beast of a story that stares you down until you come to terms with your own accountability. The songs that follow are echoes of a well-worn soul who fought to have the right to see possibilities and experience reverence. Song after song the listener is seized and silenced as the weight of Graham’s sincerity welcomes you into this hallowed chamber. JD is what you call a songwriter’s songwriter\, a man who keeps a crowd hanging on his every word. “Pound Of Rust” is an actual lifetime in the making\, and it encapsulates the full culmination of the man who stands before you today. JD continues to put his faith and trust in God and live life on life’s terms. He continues his path fueled by faith\, redemption and sobriety\, writing poignant songs about his journey both past and present. \nHis 2023 release “A Pound of Rust” propelled him to the national touring circuit\, performing in intimate listening rooms\, songwriter festivals and beyond\, with appearances at Mile 0 Festival & Born and Raised Festival. In July 2024 Graham released his follow up album “Sergeant of Sorrow” and continues to tour heavily in the USA and beyond. \n“My brother asked me what the goal was with my music and I told him connection\, whether that was talking to someone struggling on a barstool after a show or telling my story through a song to a crowd of people and reaching a stranger’s heart. Human connection is all I want; I think it’s why we are all here”
