Gavin at VEVO Launch Party
From nymag.com: On Wednesday night, the music industry’s heaviest hitters came out to launch VEVO, a new website allowing one to watch music videos. The many, many artists present all seemed heartened that their labels had finally discovered the Internet and social networking. "I'm happy that the industry is getting involved in this for a change, instead of lagging behind," said Gavin DeGraw. "Because, let's face it, the industry at the corporate level has been hurting for a long time, and when it's hurting at the corporate level, it starts hurting at the artist level, too."

Gavin Talks Motown
From google.com: For the 50th anniversary of the founding of Motown Records, The Associated Press over a period of months invited stars from the fields of music, politics and film to visit Studio A to talk about how the Detroit musical movement has affected them and the larger world.

DeGraw got into Motown as a kid, hearing songs on Time Life compilation albums.

"I remember hearing The Temptations and The Four Tops. ... It was really a great study for me as a singer," he said.

Fast-forward a couple of decades. DeGraw is an established singer-songwriter and finds himself playing a gig that features one of his Motown idols ? Stevie Wonder.

DeGraw is watching as Wonder's band starts playing at the Songwriters Hall of Fame event.

"I know this track, but something important is missing," DeGraw said.

He then sees Wonder reaching under the piano bench and raking the ground looking for his harmonica, which he had dropped.

DeGraw runs up on stage, reaches under the bench and puts the instrument in Wonder's hand. Wonder starts playing, and DeGraw remembers thinking, "`I've never been so proud to be a stagehand.' ... That would have been an honor to anybody to give Stevie Wonder his harmonica to play that essential, essential riff."

DeGraw also recalled sitting backstage and asking Wonder if he could record the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer on his cell phone.

Wonder agreed, and DeGraw was thrilled, capturing some video of Wonder playing the harmonica in the intimate setting. DeGraw called it "the ultimate campfire hang."

From google.com: "The studio itself is its own beast. It can take away or it can add to the sounds you're making with your instruments," said pop singer-songwriter Gavin DeGraw. "Some rooms are dead. You play a note, and the sound disappears.

"Some rooms they ring too much. Acoustically, they're just too active. But some of them, they just have good sound. The (Motown) recordings I've heard come out of that room. I listen to those recordings all the time, and I think: `Why does that room sound so good?' There's something to be said for it."

DeGraw liked the Motown recording approach so much that he rereleased his 2003 hit album "Chariot" a year later in a "stripped" format.

"I was really using that Motown ... sound as a template," he said. "I was thinking about those records and the rawness of those records."

"I think that's why it was so successful as a social tool, because it wasn't race-specific," DeGraw said. "It was just great music.

"And it allowed people to look past those typical lines. ... People could hear music like that in a time when people were looking at each other strangely, wondering what their motivations were, and they could go: 'Hey man, OK, no one's holding a grudge. It just sounds good. Let's enjoy ourselves.'"
