Artist History
Jim Graham has reached many people with music in his life, and like the call and response so many songs have, response to his musical call has resulted in several ways. Canadian poet/author Micheal Hurley has written a poem about Jim's guitar playing, fellow Canadian guitarist Jason Tyler Guest(see link below) has written a song he says was inspired by Jim's guitar journey and he has seen many of his students go on to perform live, sometimes playing his compositions in thier repertoire. Maintaining a busy performing and teaching schedule while working on new projects has been paying off lately, many of his songs are being heard on radio stations around the world and on television shows in Canada. The latest project has been the release of an instruction book/CD that focuses on many of the techniques used in the songs here at mp3 called "Jim Graham's Fingerstyle Guitar Workshop". Work is progressing on a new solo CD with no release date as of yet. |
