Graham Isaacson is not your typical singer-songwriter. This Portland, Maine native conjures memories of a young Johnny Cash or Tom Waits, yet with a lyrical eloquence all his own. Poignant, honest and touching are words that might describe Isaacson?s approach to songwriting and lyric crafting. With lines such as ?In your endless eyes? A man can find his way?, Isaacson offers delicate words that complement his gravelly delivery.

The Primer EP takes a contrarian approach to the polished, radio-ready sounds of most contemporary singer-songwriter records. The recordings that make up the EP were in fact made over the course of several years in a variety of environments including late night, whiskey-fueled jam sessions with friends such as Ray LaMontagne. Ray himself proclaims Isaacson?s songwriting ?is something pure and true. It explores the hopeful, dark and mystical way of love.?
