On Friday, he explored the prolific songwriter George Gershwin's catalogue with exquisite attire and fabulous arrangements. The show featured golden age standards such as "Summertime," "A Foggy Day, "They All Laughed," and "There's a Boat that's Leaving Soon for New York," all with Graham's unique spin. He was joined by Dan Bolton on piano, Michael Blanco on bass and Joseph Nero on drums.
Nathan Lee Graham has appeared in major films such as Zoolander and Zoolander 2, directed by Ben Stiller; Sweet Home Alabama, opposite Reese Witherspoon and Patrick Dempsey; and Hitch with Will Smith and Eva Mendes. He has also been seen in independent movies Confessions of an Action Star, Bad Actress and Trophy Kids. On television he originated the role of Peter in HBO's "The Comeback" with Lisa Kudrow, and had guest starring roles on "Scrubs," "Absolutely Fabulous" and "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit." His Broadway credits include the Tony Award-nominated Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and Michael John LaChiusa's The Wild Party, which was nominated for both Tony and Grammy Awards. Graham received a Drama League Award nomination off-Broadway's Wig Out (at the Vineyard Theater directed byTina Landau) and won an Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award for the west coast premiere of The Wild Party. Graham won the "Best Classical Album" Grammy Award for the album, Songs of Innocence and of Experience set to music by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer William Bolcom.
