Fans can expect to hear DeGraw perform songs from his acclaimed fourth studio album, MAKE A MOVE, including the hit single “Best I Ever Had” and his latest smash “Make A Move.” The album has garnered rave reviews since its October 15 release from such publications as Billboard, People and Entertainment Weekly amongst many others. DeGraw is also scheduled to open a number of dates this summer for legendary performer Billy Joel.
DeGraw released his third studio album, Sweeter, in September 2011. The album’s first single, “Not Over You,” co-written with OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder, reached #1 on the Hot AC charts, was a top 10 hit on Top 40, and was certified double platinum. Gavin was recently nominated for his first Grammy for We Both Know, the song he co-wrote with Colbie Calliat for the 2013 film, Safe Haven.
Gavin DeGraw first broke through with the 2003 release of his debut album, Chariot, which sold over a million copies, earned platinum certification, and yielded three hit singles: “I Don’t Want To Be,” “Follow Through,” and the title-track, “Chariot.” Gavin’s self-titled second album debuted at No. 1 on the digital sales chart and at No. 7 on Billboard’s Top 200 album chart in 2008, earning Gavin his first Top 10 album. It spawned the hit singles “In Love With A Girl,” which Billboard dubbed “a rocking homerun,” and the gold-certified We Belong Together. In 2009, Gavin released his first live album, Free.
Matt Nathanson has long been a fan favorite with his vivid songwriting, infectious melodies and dynamic live shows. His latest album Last of the Great Pretenders has been hailed as the ‘Album of the Week’ by USA Today, and it debuted at #16 on the Billboard Top 200 (his highest debut to date) and hit #1 on the iTunes Alternative Albums chart. The album features the song “Heart Starts,” the catchy theme to Lifetime’s Series Celebrity Bucket List – of which Nathanson was recently featured – as well as the hit single “Kinks Shirt,” which continues to climb the Hot AC chart and is also being heard onAmerica’s Top 40 with Ryan Seacrest, The Billy Bush Show and Rick Dee’s Countdown. The video for “Kinks Shirt” which premiered on Rolling Stone.com was directed by actor/comedian BobcatGoldthwait.

His 2007 album Some Mad Hope yielded his breakthrough multi-platinum hit ‘Come on Get Higher” as well as the subsequent hits “Car Crash,” “Falling Apart” and “All We Are.” The success of Some Mad Hope earned Nathanson a coveted spot as a VH1 You Oughta Know artist, as well as appearances on such national television and radio shows as The Late Show with David Letterman, The Howard Stern Show, Ellen, Conan, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Sixx Sense with Nikki Sixx, Dancing with the Stars, Rachael Ray, Live From Daryl’s House, andThe CMA Awards.
