Award-winning songwriter Graydon James finally made it to the IQMJ studio after a long courtship. The front-man and songwriter for The Young Novelists talked to Travis and Derek about the unlikely circumstance of being a full-time musician who owns his own home, spending 12 years as a mail carrier, and playing in a band with his wife Laura Spink. In this episode, Graydon also provides some insight into the challenges of collaborative songwriting, touring in Canada, and maintaining a home and family while pursuing a career in music.
