Joey DeGraw

I know it's hard for one person to make a difference in the world we live in, but I think that if you have something to say, you need to speak up!
So here's what I'm gonna say today:
Every now and then a "special" someone comes along to leave a mark on you - or rather "in" you.
For me, one of those special people, was Joey DeGraw.
It's hard to explain why you like someone's music, the reason for that is often, or even usually, different from person to person.
As it is today, I cannot explain exactly why I feel the way I feel about Joey.
The way he puts his words together hits a nerve in me in such a way that it can't be ignored. I love the arrogance about him, and the fact that he can't be muzzled.
His sound is easily recognizeable and Joey's rough, yet smooth voice puts me in an instant state of...well, almost bliss.
Sounds weird, I know, but do me a favour: Lie down and pull a blanket over you, play "Midnight Audio" or "Say Something Strong" and close your eyes...... you'll see what I mean.

I want to see Joey be the best he can be so that he can have the freedom to live his life whatever way he wants to live it.
If that means playing in smaller clubs every now and then, flipping burgers at the National Underground or if it means doing voice-overs for the rest of his life, well then thats his choice.....but I personally think that Joey DeGraw is destined for something larger than that.

I made a site for Joey.
www.joeydegrawfansite.com
A tributesite made by fans, for other fans.
And I need your help!
Help me search for information about Joey.
I need articles, links, photos, reviews, stories about him - anything you can find.
Thanks for listening.

Song of the day: "Say Something Strong" by Joey DeGraw

Når ord blir fattige.

Når ord blir fattige og hjertet blør, da finner jeg det naturlig og greit å bruke ord som andre har skrevet. Et dikt som jeg selv har funnet styrke i mang en gang. Først da jeg som 15-åring mistet en betydelig person i mitt liv, og senere da jeg mistet mitt eget barn. Ord som er så sterke for meg at det bringer den smerten jeg dypt begraver til overflaten gjennom den første linjen. Jeg vet hvordan de har det nå, de som sitter igjen med et barn for lite. De som ikke kan forstå at de aldri mer skal høre stemmen til deres nære. Jeg vet hvor vanskelig det er å skulle åpne øynene og møte en ny dag. Og så en til. Og så en til. Jeg ble fortalt, gang på gang, at alt blir bedre etterhvert. Men ingen fortalte meg noen gang hvordan jeg skulle leve akkurat da. Ingen kunne si meg hvor jeg skulle hente styrke til å stå opp og ta den dusjen om morgenen, smøre ei skive til frokost og komme seg på jobb. Og ingen fortalte meg hvordan jeg skulle klare å takle demonene som fortsatt besøker meg når det er ...

Finally!!!

After what feels like forever, my wish has finally come true. Joey DeGraw is coming to Oslo to play! It's been a spring full of emailing, calling and a lot of organizing to try and get Joey a gig over here. It's felt like a ton of work, yet I didn't really get anywhere. Then my friend Monica stepped up and got Joey a gig at a small, but very cozy pub called Buckley's in Oslo. I'm exited. Thats an understatement! I get to see Joey in the city I live in. No fuzz with travelling and no stress what so ever. It will be amazing. All I need to do is to sit down with a drink and enjoy some great music. This summer is saved, no matter what happens, cuz I get to see Joey DeGraw LIVE! :)
