BIOGRAPHY
Graham Alexander, 23, began carving his name in 2000 when he formed his backing band "Roadrunners" while in school. While building a following in the Philadelphia/New York club circuit and touring with the group for half a decade, he wrote and recorded two albums of original material and penned the soundtrack material for ten-time Emmy Award winning director, Kenneth Sheil (NFL Films) and his feature "Friends of Ken." The group began a hiatus in 2005 while Graham went on to write and produce music for other artists as well as for his own solo record. During this time he remained on the road for five years playing alongside artists such as Badfinger, Blood Sweat and Tears, Grace Potter and The Nocturnals, America, James Taylor, and Norah Jones. It was also during this period that he also lent his production or performance skills to a number of music videos, television shows, films (Splinterheads, New Years Eve), and video games (Rock Band). In 2010 and 2011, Graham debuted on Broadway as the lead in Rain in New York City. During the show's run, he released his first solo E.P. that made its terrestrial radio debut on WXPN Philadelphia in July 2011. After appearing over 150 times on a Broadway stage (first at the Neil Simon Theatre and in 2011 at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre) and winning a Drama Desk Award for his performance, Graham departed the production to meet the growing demands of his songwriting and solo music career. In December of 2011, Graham Alexander's self-titled, full-length album was finally released to worldwide acclaim. Within weeks, the song "Biggest Fan" was featured at #6 on Spotify's "Top Tracks from 2011 - Picked by Users" playlist which generated buzz and strengthened his already strong following. Soon after, he and his band embarked on a solo tour in support of the album performing to packed houses, standing ovations, and further acclaim. This touring resulted in a radio campaign which landed Graham and the band regular rotation for the album on radio stations across the country, which in turn led to his performance at NonComm alongside John Mayer, Willie Nelson, and Brandi Carlile. With over a decade of experience, Graham shows no signs of slowing down as he continues to compose for a new project (slated for release in early 2013) in addition to the ongoing tour in support of his solo music career. With his hard work, Graham Alexander has created a foundation for a future with seemingly endless possibilities and an unending love for what he does.

PRESS Reviews:
At once inspired, musically daring and melodically contagious, Alexanders music is the sound of an old soul being distilled through a 21st-century pop blender. - The Weekender, May 2012 Alexanders songs are without a doubt more fresh, hip and modern sounding without however losing that ever-present nostalgic sounding touch. As for example on Biggest Fan which has an insistent backbeat and a cool electric piano going on, while Grahams voice rockets through the arrangement with his unflappable verses and forceful chorus lines. Jamsphere, June 2012 However easy it may be to dismiss [Alexander] as retro-pop, Alexander does it all so well that he ends up infusing the sound with a new sense of warmth and honesty. And that's the most dangerous part about it. - The Deli Magazine, June 2012 Alexander The Great There's something special about a 23-year-old with two first names who's already appeared in 150 shows on Broadway. Then again, that's Graham Alexander for you. The 23-year-old made heads nod and feet tap with his sizzling poprock single "Biggest Fan" off his self-titled debut EP released in December. The critically acclaimed song (ranked number six on Spotify's top tracks from 2011, selected by users) earned him multiple viral music videos - Dover Post, November 2012 Mixing original songs from his debut album "Graham Alexander" as well as various cover songs, Graham ROCKED the shop with his great music, high energy, and strong stage presence. - Call Me Adam, November 2012 Hearing and seeing this command of a stage was how I imagined seeing Springsteen, James Brown, or McCartney performing in their formative years. I didnt think people like this existed anymore! The songs spoke to me, the lyrics intelligent, the melodies infectious, and all the while ORIGINAL. This kid hadn't studied computers or beat machines. He was a stone cold rock n roller with truly original and classic songwriting sensibilities that they just don't have in music today. - Review by Larry Russell, October 2012
