About Gavin DeGraw:

Fearlessness has defined the career of GRAMMY-nominated Gavin DeGraw thus far. He’s the rare talent who could seamlessly share the stage with Billy Joel and The Allman Brothers or Maroon 5 and Shania Twain. Gavin’s inimitable voice and soulful style boldly bloomed on his 2003 platinum-certified full-length debut, Chariot. It included the gold singles “Follow Through,” “Chariot,” and “I Don’t Want To Be”— featured on One Tree Hill and which Entertainment Weekly hailed as one of “The 25 Best TV Theme Songs of the 21st Century.”

In 2008, his self-titled second album, Gavin DeGraw, bowed in the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200 powered by the gold-selling “We Belong Together.” 2011’s Sweeter saw him return to the Top 10 as the single “Not Over You” went double-platinum. Meanwhile, his 2013 duet with Colbie Caillat, “We Both Know,” garnered a GRAMMY Award nomination in the category of “Best Song Written For Visual Media” for the film Safe Haven. In 2016, Something Worth Saving incited widespread critical applause from USA Today, Billboard, Entertainment Tonight, and Huffington Post, to name a few.

In 2022, he returned with his seventh full-length offering, Face The River. Written entirely by DeGraw and produced by GRAMMY-winning producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson, Brandi Carlile), Face The River is an exploration of the most meaningful memories and life lessons passed down from DeGraw’s late parents, Lynne and John Wayne, stitched together into a timeless tale soundtracked by his signature fusion of rock, pop, soul, and funk.
