Calum Graham

Guitar Virtuoso Calum Graham has been blasting his way through the Alberta music scene in the short 5 years he’s been playing. From the small town of High River, Alberta he is truly a unique talent that is destined for the “World Stage”. Known as “The kid with the Golden Hands”; this 18-year–old fretwork phenom has a dynamic and upbeat style, and is at the forefront of a new generation in music.

In 2009, Calum won first place at the Calgary Stampede Talent Search, which qualified him to compete in Nationals, at the Canadian Youth Talent Competition (past winner - Michael Buble’) where he also finished first place. This was the first year that a representative from Calgary, Alberta has ever won at the National Competition in its 30-year history. Barely off the plane from P.E.I, Calum was offered to record his first album entitled “Sunny Side Up” at a local studio in Calgary. This album showcased Calum’s ability to not only play the guitar well, but to write exceptionally for his age. Album reviews along with David Bowie and Whitney Houston showed promise for this young man. Once the album was released, Calum decided to compete in the Canadian Guitar Festival, with his original compositions. A second place finish and a smashed guitar on the return flight home gave Calum a front-page article in the “SUN” Newspaper Canada-wide. This proved to be quite an extraordinary year for Graham.

2010 has been nothing short of a ride either. With a showcase at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, an audition for Disney Music and Hollywood records, and performances at some of Canada’s finest Folk Festivals, Calum is starting to gather a name for himself, across the nation. His most recent highlight was at the Canadian Guitar Festival in Ontario, where he finished First place, and claimed his title from placing second, the previous year. This is the first time a teenager has ever won this prestigious competition, and CBC radio and the “SUN” newspaper covered his follow-up story all over Canada.
