The Grahams
THE BRIDGE
Some records feel like postcards from the road, others like diary entries written late at night. The Bridge, the fourth studio album from Alyssa and Doug Graham, manages to be both. It’s the most personal record they’ve made, and on vinyl, its warmth comes alive in a way streaming can’t touch.
Since their debut in 2013, The Grahams have tied their music to travel. Riverman’s Daughter was born on a Mississippi riverboat, Glory Bound came from riding the rails, and Kids Like Us followed Route 66 by motorcycle. Those albums looked outward, inspired by landscapes and the people they met along the way. The Bridge turns inward.
Named for the George Washington Bridge that carried them from New Jersey to New York City during their formative years, this record is less about places and more about who they’ve become. Alyssa and Doug, high school sweethearts who’ve been together nearly four decades, dig into their own story with honesty, vulnerability, and a touch of playfulness.
“This is the first self-portrait we have made,” they share. “It feels like the first time we have truly looked inwards and shared what we found. The good, the bad, the ugly, and, overall, the beauty. The Bridge is our story.”
