Following his four years at the Hartt School of Music, piano player and songwriter Nate Graham returned to his hometown of Philadelphia. Graham, and his band Dirty Blue, were met quickly with success in the summer of 2006 winning a battle of the bands at The Electric Factory, and earning the opportunity to open for Bon Jovi and Nickleback at Citizen's Bank Park. The group went on to perform at popular Philadelphia venues like World Cafe Live and The Grapestreet Pub before Graham released his debut solo album, Daylight, in April 2007.

Since the release of Daylight, Graham has been performing primarily as a solo artist. His piano-based songs and performances have been described by fans as possessing "the ease of Elton John" and the "raw perspective of Ben Folds", with the "soulful voice of Ray LaMontagne". Strong melodies and story-driven lyrics are staples of Graham's songs. And in combination with his clever hooks and prodigious piano ability, Graham's songs always leave listening ears craving more.

With his latest release, Trio EP, Graham strips his songs down to the bare essentials. The music embraces an economic production value with live recorded, full band, instrumental tracks. Driving rhythms, pounding pianos, and heartfelt ballads create a complete musical experience in only six songs.

In September 2008, Graham relocated to New York City, and currently lives in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Since his move he has reconnected with bassist, Adam Cote, and met drummer Dan McGuinness, who make up the remaining parts of the group frequently billed as the "Nate Graham Trio". The trio actively performs all over the Northeast to college crowds and adult audiences alike. But while New York City has brought many new musical opportunities and challenges, the Philadelphia area will always be his home and inspiration, and Graham returns there frequently to perform.
