The Alluvion proudly welcomes Chicago's soulfully unique Nathan Graham with his full band and a special solo opening set from local singer-songwriter Audrey Mason.
“A powerhouse singer with a deep drive to connect, the Chicago-born-and-raised Graham tenderly wraps his fears and anxieties in velvety arrangements infused with a wide range of influences from rock and folk to soul and blues.” - No Depression!
NATHAN GRAHAM
When you think of a singer-songwriter, who comes to mind? Nathan Graham says it probably isn’t somebody who looks like he does. And he wants to change that. Raised in Chicago on Prince and Earth, Wind & Fire, Graham bridges South Side Blues with Nashville Americana to deliver a bittersweet and soulful sound.
Starting out backing blues singers at famous haunts like Buddy Guy’s Legends and Kingston Mines, he spent a decade building his career as a guitar-for-hire before forming bands to perform his own music and lyrics. But it took a bit of convincing to overcome self-doubt as a singer. Some advice from his mother eventually pushed him forward: “All you have to do is open up your mouth, and project.”
What Graham projects now are stories of the human condition, somehow both achingly painful and exquisitely comforting. His guitars convey heartbreak, lyrics tell stories of regret, but his rich vocal delivery offers the remedy.
AUDREY MASON
Audrey Mason is a 18 year old multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter based in Northern Michigan. She currently attends Interlochen Arts Academy as a Senior where she majors in Singer/Songwriting, and plans to attend NYU in the fall at the Clive Davis Institute. She has been gigging locally in Michigan since she was 13, and performs both originals and covers. As well as mainly playing guitar, she also plays cello, electric bass, piano, and cajon. Additionally to performing solo, she is in a band called A to Z with one of her best friends, Zinnia Dungjen. While the band started as a duo, it has grown to feature a drummer, adding an intricate and exciting touch to their sound. Some highlights of Audrey’s career so far have been opening for numerous successful musicians, including The Accidentals, Five for Fighting, Joshua Davis, The Mountain Grass Unit, and more.
Audrey has always been extremely curious about why and how music has the ability to strike such evocative feeling and emotion with crowds of strangers. She is continuously drawn to the power of communication and unity through live music and dance, and she believes that it is one of the most honest and beautiful ways to form a deep connection with another person. She believes that music allows people to witness each other's open, broken, and joyous humanity. She always strives to achieve this kind of emotional impact and deliver a soul-freeing kind of feeling through her writing and performance.
