Gavin DeGraw Performs Thursday, July 12 in Alive@Five Concert in Stamford

Gavin DeGraw performs Thursday as part of Stamford’s Alive@Five concert series at Columbus Park in downtown Stamford.

On the same outdoor stage will be Sir Cadian Rythm, an alternative pop band. The show starts at 5 p.m., and arriving early is much, much better than late.

Multi-platinum singer/songwriter, Gavin DeGraw, 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.”

Sir Cadian Rhythm

Based out of the concrete jungle that is NYC, Sir Cadian Rhythm is an alternative pop band known for their captivating live performance and infectious melodies.

The band’s unique sonic blend, which teeters on the edge of pop and alternative rock, is the result of each member coming from different musical upbringings ranging from musical theater to horn-laden funk to psychedelic rock music.

Since their formation in 2015, the band has gone on to perform all over the east coast opening for national acts including Andy Grammer, Blues Traveler, The Robert Randolph Band, and The Record Company.

Their highly touted single, “Not Quite Done Yet”, went viral on social media platforms and has accumulated close to a half a million streams on Spotify since its release.
