About

GRAHAM G TOOLE

Graham grew up in a musical house, his mum played piano, and his dad sang alongside himself and his five sisters, all going through classical training and eisteddfod competitions.
In the past he has paid tributes to Glen Campbell, John Denver & Kenny Rogers.
"Music's always been my passion," Graham said. At 12, the same year he discovered guitar, he joined Callaghan’s old time dance band. At 16, Graham won a talent competition to be the curtain-raiser for a young John Williamson
on the Travelling out west SHOW on channel 9 back in his Old Man Emu days of the early 1970s, and he was on his way.
In 2004, he was recognised with the Frank Ifield International Spur Award for his potential global country music appeal, individual style, and professionalism. With his Album A Life Worth Living.
Graham and his family in the mid-2000s played the streets of Tamworth with his wife and children Rebecca, Julius, and Ashleigh Toole. Wife Leonie also sings and writes and, for 10 years, he and his young family sang in the streets of Tamworth.
While the couple penned and recorded an album, Graham said these days he was happy singing the songs of the music's greats.
"It's been a brilliant opportunity to play wonderful songs that everyone knows... that's the fun part: we encourage people to join in," Graham said.
"The music transcends through the ages; they are just such well-crafted songs."
Increasingly he finds second and third generations coming to the concerts, with grandparents eager to share the music they grew up with.
As for favorites, he said that it was too hard to choose, with the melody in one, or a phrase in another clicking with him in particular situations.
"And that's what it's like for audiences too... one line in a song can just take them back to that special time in their lives," he said.
