He spent a decade as a guitar-for-hire before picking up a mic to tell his own stories on the stage.<\/p>\n<p>Soulful and steady, Graham\u2019s music offers a raw introspective of the human condition that\u2019s both painful and comforting. His guitar conveys heartbreak, lyrics tell stories of regret, but his rich vocal delivery offers the remedy.<\/p>\n<p>Having brought his songs on international tours with both major label and indie acts, Graham is challenging the notion of what it means to be a singer-songwriter. He\u2019s driving inclusivity within the genre, and he hopes to evoke a sense of understanding in the process.<\/p>\n<p>Mackinac&#8217;s own Mary Kenyon will open for Nathan Graham.
