Joey DeGraw

Summer 2010 saw DeGraw embark on a new tour of the UK and Europe, with performances at venues including The Musician in Leicester, England on July 19 and at the Blue Balls Festival in Lucerne, Switzerland on July 24. He also played in Aarhus, Denmark and in Kuurne, Belgium.

The first of such artists was DeGraw himself, releasing his second album, Say Something Strong through the label on August 18, 2009. It features tracks from his 2005 release, Our Own Time, Tragedy, Your Last Day, Miracle of Mind & Sunny as well as Another Mistake, the track originally written for Joss Stone, who herself provides backing vocals on the track. Other special guests on the album are Mountain frontman, Leslie West, Chris Barron of the Spin Doctors and Gavin DeGraw. He has also toured Europe and the USA to promote his music.

December 2007 saw DeGraw and his brother, Gavin open The National Underground, a New York City venue, offering live music, food and drink. Situated in Manhattan's Lower East Side at 159 East Houston Street, the venue has become a live music hub for the country's top indie talent and in 2009, the brand was extended to a record label. Talking at the time, DeGraw explained "My brother and I want to show off the truly credible artists that perform in our venue. With the National Underground brand, credibility is paramount. We want to provide an outlet for real artists to get exposure." The boys are working hard to finish their new bar which is due to open sometime in the spring of 2011, situated in Nashville, Tennessee.

Following the move, DeGraw eventually landed a weekly gig at The Bitter End on Wednesday nights, which he continued until late 2006. During this time, DeGraw became well known in the New York City music scene and eventually filling the venue and other venues such as The Knitting Factory.

In 2005, DeGraw released his debut album; a self-produced effort entitled Midnight Audio, which has sold over 40,000 copies without the support of a label.

DeGraw moved to Manhattan in 1998 with his brother, Gavin, and shared a small apartment, sleeping in the same room. From there, he watched the collapse of the World Trade Center, a mile away, in 2001.
