Ian Humphreys-Graham is a UK country singer-songwriter from Wigan, bringing the storytelling heart of country music to life with a distinctly British perspective.
Ian’s journey began with 32 Bridge, written on the back of a napkin during a trip to Nashville after being inspired by Luke Bryan’s 32 Bridge bar. What started as a song about fulfilling a childhood dream became the beginning of his solo country career.
Since then, Ian has gone on to rack up more than 62,000 streams, receive radio support in the UK and internationally, and reach listeners across the world. His single Ain’t Too Far, inspired by Cowboy and Co in Blackpool, earned Ian a place as a finalist for the UKCountryRadio.com Song Award.
Ian will be performing at the UK Country Music Awards, adding another milestone to a rapidly growing year for the Wigan-born songwriter.
Following the release of his latest single, Just Her Boots, Ian continues to build momentum with a growing catalogue of songs inspired by real places, real people and the moments that make country music special. There’s one thing Ian sets out to do with every song: write songs that are worth singing along to. Whether it’s a big night out, a favourite bar, a road trip or a song that hits a little closer to home, Ian wants his music to feel like something you can join in with.
Musically, Ian draws heavily from the ’90s country he grew up loving, while bringing in the modern country and honky tonk sounds that inspire him today. From Wigan to Nashville and everywhere in between, his songs tell stories from his own side of the Atlantic.
UK heart. Southern soul. Songs worth singing along to.
