About the Graham St. Clair Band

Fronted by lead vocalist and songwriter Graham St. Clair, the group draws deep inspiration from the rugged culture of West Texas, where Graham was raised in Lubbock. The band’s sound is shaped by a blend of influences, including Jason Isbell, Flatland Cavalry, Turnpike Troubadours and Thieving Birds –  balancing thoughtful songwriting with a dynamic, roots-driven energy.

The members first came together while attending Baylor University, originally forming as a “fraternity band.” What began as a college jam project quickly evolved into something greater. Since releasing their debut album – now with over 500,000 streams – they’ve shared the stage with renowned acts like Randy Rogers Band, Shane Smith & the Saints and Josh Abbott Band, performing across the country.

The band lineup includes Jackson Cossey on drums and percussion; Jackson Wright on lead electric/acoustic guitar; Raymond Spell on bass guitar; Sean Douglas on rhythm electric guitar; and Stiles Clements on pedal steel guitar.

Together, the Graham St. Clair Band delivers a sound that’s raw, authentic and unmistakably Texan.

Don’t miss the free tailgate concert by the Graham St. Clair Band at 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20, on the Seat Geek Stage at Touchdown Alley outside of McLane Stadium.
