The Grahams

SEATED SHOW

The Grahams are back  at Revelation and raring to go !

This  amazing show features a 30 minute documentary film,  ‘Searching The Milky Way,’ shot by New York filmmakers Natalie Brasington and David Johnson, during The Grahams‘ motorcycle adventure across the legendary Route 66 , followed by a dazzzling live performance featuring  songs from their  2020 album release ‘Kids Like Us‘ & their upcoming EP, ‘Sha La La’ (out  15 October).

Alyssa and Doug Graham are New Jersey raised, New York bred, but Nashville based — a cross-section of regional influences that allows them to slip in and out of genres like they’re changing clothes. Their unique sound landed them at the top of the Americana charts when their first album, Riverman’s Daughter, was released in 2013, led to the critically acclaimed Glory Bound in 2016 and their affair with a more alt-pop sound on 2020’s Kids Like Us (co-produced by the late Richard Swift and Lucious’ Dan Molad). Their music has landed them in every major music publication and grown them a legion of dedicated fans around the world.

In 2021 their music has evolved yet again into a nostalgia-inducing mellow gold sound with a nod to mid-century soul and classic UK pop. If that sounds like a mouthful, it’s by design.  Consider their upcoming three song EP Sha La La a moment of bliss before the duo’s next full album, due in 2022. A tongue-in-cheek reference to a laissez-faire approach to life, Sha La La is The Grahams’ attempt to exorcise the pains and disappointments of the last 14 months. Rather than writhing in self pity and judgement, or aspirations driven by narcissism, they decided to simply let go of trying to control or overcome the situation, liberating themselves of their anger and who they thought they were, while embracing who they may become.

Their 2020 LP Kids Like Us — four years in the making — was considered their best work to-date. Released in March of the year of our lord COVID, they were devastated as their tour plans and other promotional opportunities were slowly picked off one by one. While this is a familiar story by now, The Grahams’ specific experience was compounded by a perfect storm of difficult situations and while it was an extremely difficult time, the couple’s bond only grew stronger and now they’re finally back  .
