THIS EVENT HAS PASSED

See Gavin DeGraw live in concert! DeGraw makes his State Theatre debut with his Full Circle Tour, an introduction to the upcoming album, Face the River. DeGraw is a multi-platinum selling singer, performer, and songwriter. He first broke through with the 2003 release of his debut album, Chariot, which sold over 1 million copies, earned platinum certification, and yielded three hit singles: “I Don’t Want To Be,” “Follow Through,” and the title-track, “Chariot.” His self-titled second album debuted at #1 on the digital sales chart and at #7 on Billboard’s Top 200 album chart in 2008, earning DeGraw 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.”

His third studio album, Sweeter, was released in September 2011 and produced the smash single, “Not Over You,” co-written with OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder. The track reached #1 on the Hot AC charts, was a top 10 hit on Top 40, and was certified double platinum. In 2013, DeGraw released his fourth studio album, Make A Move, which included the hit song “Best I Ever Had” and garnered rave reviews from such publications as Billboard, People, and Entertainment Weekly. In addition, he was nominated for his first Grammy® for “We Both Know,” the song he co-wrote with Colbie Caillat for the film, Safe Haven. DeGraw released his fifth studio album, Something Worth Saving, in September 2016 featuring singles “She Sets the City On Fire” and “Making Love with The Radio On.” Since then he has been consistently touring around the world, including sold out dates with the legendary Billy Joel.

Rock On! This Week's Sound Bites... 07/30/2026

"Yeah, the idea started early last year," enthusiastically stated guitarist Adrian Vandenberg as he discussed his upcoming "My Whitesnake Years" tour, a conglomeration of hits from some of the most revered classic rock acts of all time. "Last year it was 35 years ago when Whitesnake headlined the legendary Donington Festival in England. So, we thought it would be a good thing to celebrate that anniversary and do a "My Whitesnake Years" tour and when we were done, people from all over the world began asking if we'd be willing to do a run here or there and we went to Scandinavia, Spain and there is actually more stuff in the pipeline for next year also and of course now to the United States and it has been a lot of fun so far."
