E-MAIL GRAHAM

Graham was born in England and came to America when he was 10 years old.  His family settled in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

 "There was always a guitar laying around the house when I was growing up and by the time I graduated from high school, I knew at least three chords!" says Graham.  An early inspiration came one day when a couple of classmates entertained the school singing and playing their guitars. Graham decided he wanted to do that too!

After a year of college, Graham joined the Air Force, eventually winding up at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City.  He teamed up with a fellow airman and the two of them began singing and playing their acoustic guitars in local coffee shops. At one of these gigs, he met a local musician whose ambitions and goals were the same as his.  They become good friends and together they founded "THE FOXXE", a popular Oklahoma City band during the late '60's and early 70's.

Graham has performed with a number of musical groups across the country. At one time he was a backing musician for Rock n' Roll legend Del Shannon and performed similar duties for recording artist Brian HylandHe has performed with many other well-known artists over the years.
