John Dee Graham performs "Jubilee"

Jon Dee Graham is an Austin, TX legend. From his beginnings playing guitar with the classic cow-punk outfit The True Believers to live and session work with John Doe, Exene Cervenka and Michelle Shocked, Graham has been one of the most in-demand musicians in Austin. In the past decade, listeners too have discovered the truly brilliant songwriting that he has honed. His second solo release from 2004, The Great Battle, earned him accolades all over the world with its brutally honest country folk sounds and a voice that brings to mind Tom Waits. It also earned him “album of the year” in various Austin music papers. His most recent release, Full (Freedom Records), has earned similiar praise, bringing even further attention when the influential country magazine No Depression put Dee on the cover. Graham plays with Bloodshot recording artists The Silos at Mohawk Place on Sunday (April 1), 8pm. The Hammond Shutdown opens.
