At the recent Jagermeister Tour stop at the Val Air Ballroom, UCB contributor June sat down with Sean Patrick McGraw to talk history, songwriting and his future.

‘My Best Days’ – Danny Gokey (RCA, 2010) Having never seen a single minute of ‘American Idol’, I was unfamiliar with Danny Gokey until debut single ‘My Best Days Are Ahead of Me’ was released. If his label reps ever wondered how his music would have been received without reality TV, here’s their chance. When Read More
