Details:
Graham Wilkinson started out as a folk singer. Born to a Methodist minister and speech pathologist and growing up in small East Texas towns he picked up a guitar at the age of 17 and began his long and lofty goal of combining the message and the mood of Bob Dylan's and Bob Marley's music.
Over the past four years he has called Austin, Texas home. After dropping out of college to go live on a Greek island in 2000, he came back to finish up his degree in the Fine Arts at Hendrix College only to leave upon graduation to go live and volunteer on the island of Pohnpei in the Federated States of Micronesia.
Unfortunately, during his stint teaching English in the jungles of Pohnpei his older brother, Aaron Robert Wilkinson, died while living in Brooklyn. This brought Graham back stateside and soon he moved down to Austin.
While in Austin he joined up with a fluctuating group of individuals called the Underground Township. With his core, bass and drums, lead by Wayne Dalchau and Patrick Herzfeld, they've shared the stage with Regina Spektor, Hayes Carll, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Kimya Dawson, legendary Ramblin' Jack Elliot, as well as friend and mentor Alejandro Escovedo.
The Township can be seen with horns, keys, percussion as well as dancers and are always evolving to the crowd, the mood and the times. The self titled album from 2006 was recorded in Graham's garage and he just released a solo acoustic album to help build hype for the new full band album due out in the Fall of 2008.

"The township will make you think, drink, dance and kiss a stranger. Gram is like no other musician on the scene with charisma in spades and the songs to match." Hayes Carll

"Graham's a great singer/songwriter. His songs are deep from the heart. His music on stage comes across as very honest, true and real. His unique voice and style make for an enjoyable live show." Steve Augello, RCA Records
