Billy Joel, Joe Jackson, GaryNuman And Robert Graham To Form Super Group


Obviously this super group will not be playing soon as Robert likes to dream. Robert Graham is releasing his love song “Don’t Go” to international radio through Concerthouse Music. This song is from his CD “STORM IN A TEACUP” produced by Chris Brown.(Tragically Hip, Bourbon Tabernacle Choir). Songs from the cd have received airplay in the UK, Canada, The USA and Australia.

In Graham’s music you can hear echoes of David
Bowie, the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Steely Dan,
ELO, Van Halen, the Cars, Manu Chao, Billy Joel,
Joe Jackson, Ray Charles, Ben Folds and Gary Numan, just to name a lot !

The album is an engaging mix of hook-laden pop, rock, blues and dance tracks with guest appearances by NYC heavyweights TEDDY KUMPEL (Rickie Lee Jones, Trent Reznor), ANTON FIER (Herbie Hancock, the Lounge Lizards), ROB JOST (Tony Scherr Trio, Ursa Minor ), and TONY SCHERR (Bill Frisell, Norah Jones), with cameos from
ERICK SCHENKMAN (Spin Doctors) and FORD PIER (DOA, the Rheostatics), not to mention Kinston Ontario’s own Eli and John Abrams of the fabulous Abrams Brothers.

Robert has shared the stage with such diverse acts
as Leahy, David Wilcox, Natalie Mcmaster, Kellie
Lee Evans, Shooglenifty, and the Cowboy Junkies.

“Don’t Go” reached the semi finals of the 2010
Dallas Songwriting Association in the pop/rock/alt/r&b category reaching # 24.
