Jim Graham is a consummate, dazzling guitar player from Kingston, Ontario (Canada) who expresses his style as acoustic fingerstyle, as one can appreciate on his latest release, "Stories Without Words". His favorite guitar is a Takemine Electric Classical. Graham has played guitar since 1964, and plainly avows his career goal, "To push instrumental guitar music to the forefront of the world's attention."
When asked to name his number one effect for the guitar, Graham countered with, "Reverb," and then cited his musicial goals, "To write more songs and to bring more music written for other instruments to the guitar." He hopes to someday study advanced music theory, and is at this time listening to Mozart, Celtic music, Andean folk and '70s progressive rock. His utmost satisfaction? "Playing live and talking to people from the audience afterward," he answers unquestionably.
Graham details continuing and future projects in his own words, "Promoting the musc from my two CDs with as much live performing as I can as well as through radio and other media, while writing and working on more music for a third release."
Graham's discography (available here at Guitar Nine Records) includes several solo albums ("Mezcolanza", "Stories Without Words", "Dulcet Tones").
