Kevin McKinney, the Soulhat frontman’s eccentric songwriting and untraditional phrasings make him shine as a singer-songwriter.
Jon Dee Graham is a guitarist and songwriter from Austin, Texas. A former member of the True Believers with Alejandro Escovedo, Graham is the only musician ever to be inducted into the Austin Music Hall of Fame three times. He is most well known for his solo work, including the critically acclaimed records “Escape from Monster Island,” “Hooray For The Moon,” and “Full.” He is also well known for his tenure in The Skunks, Austin’s first punk band, and roots-rock pioneer The True Believers with Alejandro Escovedo.
William Harries Graham’s music defies the contemporary labels…it is independent in spirit but not indie; it is American, but not Americana. What it IS, though, is a gorgeous and layered work that combines intelligent lyrics and powerful poetic imagery with a dreamlike wash of guitars and vocals, running down everything from glorious anthems to the most delicate weepers.
