Graham Colton Band

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Graham Colton Band is a rock band from the southwest who released their first major label record in 2004.

The band was formed by singer Graham Colton when he began writing and singing songs in his dorm room at Southern Methodist University.

Colton's solo acoustic songs wound up on the Internet and a self-titled album soon followed. Their debut album found their way to the band Counting Crows, who asked them to open for them on their 2002 fall tour. Following that tour, many other bands asked the Graham Colton Band to open for them, including Maroon 5, John Mayer, Dave Matthews Band and Guster.

In May 2004, the band released their first major label album, "Drive". The band has been touring almost non-stop since then.
