Graham's
playing reflects the styles of the early blues masters particularly the
east coast, syncopated styles of Blind Boy Fuller and Blind Blake.
However, other major influences include Bo Carter, Lonnie Johnson, Rev.
Gary Davis, Memphis Minnie & Kansas Joe, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Big Bill
Broonzy, Fred McDowell, Sleepy John Estes, Mississippi Sheiks, Delmore
Brothers, and the Memphis Jug Band to name but a few. A typical
performance includes impassioned renditions of a selection of songs from
the above artists played with energy and conviction on a very old
Stella, and National resonator guitars.
