Richard McGraw

Richard McGraw is a Pacific Northwest-based singer-songwriter who's been crafting raw, introspective folk-Americana since the early 2000s. Known for his DIY ethos and gravelly vocals, McGraw's music digs into life's thorny corners – recent releases like *How to Suffer* and *Burying the Dead* lay bare struggles with mental health, relationships, and existential questioning through stripped-down arrangements. His work often walks the line between bleak honesty and dark humor, with *Popular Music* offering surprisingly catchy meditations on modern disillusionment.

While maintaining an underground following, McGraw collaborates frequently with indie artists and self-releases concept-driven projects like *Song & Void Vol. 1*, which pairs each track with short stories. His 2023 EP *Her Sacred Status, My Militant Needs* continues his tradition of balancing poetic lyricism with lo-fi production, cementing his status as a cult favorite for listeners drawn to unvarnished emotional storytelling.
