BIOGRAPHY

Originally from Manchester, NH, now Rhode Island based, singer-songwriter/guitarist, J. Michael Graham blurs the lines between folk-rock, pop and Americana. An admirer of "timeless" songwriters like Mark Olson, Gary Louris, Gillian Welch, Gram Parsons, and Aimee Mann, Graham has released several critically acclaimed collections of original music. His most recent, "Stuck" was nominated for a 2025 RI Music Award in the Favorite Americana Album category. Stuck explores the depths of personal connections and what may linger when relationships sometimes fall apart. Graham has played numerous shows throughout the New England region, as well as taken short jaunts through the Midwest, Tennessee and Quebec. His songs take the listener to places where time, location and feelings blur; the stories, characters, and vignettes presented in the lyrics may feel familiar, but are juxtaposed against a musical backdrop creating something a little more complex. Graham has shared the stage with a wide range of artists including The Samples,  Catie Curtis, Vance Gilbert, The Sheila Divine, James Montgomery, The Sea The Sea, Dresden Dolls, Mark Cutler, and Ian O'Neil from Deer Tick. In addition, Graham hosts a monthly songwriter series at Foolproof Brewery in his present hometown of Pawtucket, RI.
