Time to Connect Episode #43 (season 2) - William Harries Graham - April 7, 2023

Thanks to William Harries Graham, Austin, Texas based a singer-songwriter. According to the Austin Music Foundation, William “has been a prominent figure in Austin rock since he was a small child. Being the son of legendary True Believers and Skunks guitarist Jon Dee Graham, it always seemed young William was destined for greatness, and he proved the world right at the young age of six when he performed his first show in front of a thousand people at the Austin Music Awards. Music critic David Crowely wrote of William’s record Foreign Fields, “This debut record positions him towards the experimental end of Americana with copious nods towards the music that was called indie-rock before indie became a meaningless term. He has an aesthetic built around loud guitars, an ear for melody, a fondness for messing with time signatures, and if this record is any indication, a massive future.”
In this relaxed conversation, we talked about William’s two new records scheduled to be released in 2023, his struggles with chronic pain since a child, living in Austin, growing up as the son of Jon Dee, the Continental Club Wednesday night residency, influential musicians, vinyl vs. streaming, what pisses him off, what happens when we die, and much more. Again, many thanks to William Harries Graham.
