I don't know much about the fellow but fondly recall 2 vintage '80s tunes, 'Temporary Beauty' and 'Wake Up(next to you...)'. He's coming to a local music venue in about a month, so we're going out to see him. If any of you have good Graham info, I'd appreciate it...I'd like to know more about his music. I get the sense he's a quirky singer-songwriter with a much more diverse career than 2 '80s MTV videos.

That's what the internet said...I only remember him carving that ice sculture in 'Temporary Beauty'.

Pick up Squeezing Out Sparks, IMO his best album and one of the best of it's particular genre. I think "Discovering Japan" is one of my all time favorite songs of the late 70's/early 80's. "Passion Is No Ordinary Word" and "Local Girls" are also great.
