THE HUSTLE:
THE GRAFT BAND LIVERPOOL
RAW • GRITTY • ANTHEMIC
The Graft Band Liverpool started with very little — just a guitar, a voice, and songs that came from real places. In those early days, it was Jamie writing and playing in small rooms. It wasn’t about chasing anything big; it was about getting the feelings out. That rawness became part of who we are today.
June 6th 2025 changed everything. A headline show designed as a solo return turned into an impromptu band debut. Eddie and Zak joined, becoming vital members instantly. After that night, the project became a mainstay, leading to gigs in Manchester, Sheffield and beyond with Noisy Neighbour Promotions.
As the rooms got bigger, the energy changed. Eddie provided iconic riffs, Zak brought the funk on bass, and Jack joined in August 2025 to form the beat of our sound. The project finally felt identified. That shift is clear in Peace In Your Sound — it’s still Jamie at the core, but now carried by a fuller, louder sound designed to fill the space.
What’s Next For The Graft
From the docks of Liverpool to stages across the UK, the road ahead is relentless. New music is in motion, new dates are landing, and the hustle doesn’t let up. The Graft Band Liverpool is building something real out of the North West — authentic songs, heavy live shows, and a growing collective of people who get it.
Catch the band live, follow the sound, and join the hustle.
