Kiyoshi Graves - Chase Review
by Sherrill Fulghum

.
Every artist thanks their audiences after receiving applause, but this Los Angeles native wants his audiences to know how truly grateful he is to be playing for them. Second generation Japanese American Kiyoshi Graves, who has a BA in Music, sees his debut CD "Chase" as the beginning of a journey. The 10 original songs on the album are lyrics driven melodies of love and it related topics; but they are also a form of journey and discovery in themselves.

Kiyoshi plays straight up rock and roll; yet there are times when the music itself is a little heavy handed and has the tendency to drown out Kiyoshi's smooth tenor voice. Kiyoshi Graves voice sound a little bit like first season American Idol contestant Jim Verroros (Jim has the distinction of being the very first contestant to be eliminated for the show).

Kiyoshi Graves is on a musical journey of discovery and he invites everyone to join his for the ride.
