| My two cents: |
Fans of Maroon5, John
Mayer and the Counting Crows might recognize this week's Gem. For
everyone else, it's time to familiarize yourselves. Since the 2002
Counting Crows tour, the Graham Colton Band have played more than
400 shows in almost three years. Lead singer and Oklahoma native
Graham Colton writes the songs, which fill our ears with love, loss
and bitterness. They are honest songs to which everyone can relate,
such as "First Week," about the novelty of a relationship
wearing off. Graham Colton Band are bound to be the next big thing,
so, as Colton sings in the opening track "Don't give up on
me tonight/We've come this far and we've made good time." The
band will open for Kelly Clarkson Friday at the A.J. Palumbo Center.
