Multi-Platinum, world-renowned entertainer Gavin DeGraw is returning to the project that started it all with Chariot 20, a brand new, reimagined version of his debut album, available Sept. 27.
“As an artist, you fight your entire life to get to that first album. Chariot changed everything for me. It opened the doors to touring the world, meeting my heroes, and spending my life making music. But most importantly, it introduced me to all of you. For that, I’m forever grateful,” said DeGraw, in a message to fans. “In the two decades since that first album, we’ve grown together, we’ve sung and danced together, and we’ve shared memories and stories, creating a community connected by the greatest unifier of all, in my opinion, which is music.”
Since its release in 2003, Chariot has evolved into a cultural touchstone. Originally released on J Records, where legendary executive Clive Davis signed DeGraw in 2002, the album established the future Grammy nominee as a singular vocal talent. The project notably features the double-Platinum, Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 hit “I Don’t Want to Be,” which the publication recently named one of the Best Songs of 2004. Additionally, album opener “Follow Through” reached Gold certification while the Platinum-selling title track reached Top 30 territory on the Hot 100. The new version of “Chariot” is out now. Listen HERE.
This revisited version reunites DeGraw with Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb, who produced DeGraw’s acclaimed 2022 album Face The River. It also features two previously unreleased tracks written during DeGraw’s original Chariot sessions: “Get Lost” and “Love Is Stronger (Alright).”
DeGraw recently wrapped the first leg of his 2024 WORLD TOUR, which will pick up later this year with dates across Europe.

ABOUT GAVIN DEGRAW:
GRAMMY® Award-nominated multiplatinum singer and songwriter Gavin DeGraw’s inimitable voice and soulful style boldly bloomed on his 2003 Platinum-certified full-length debut, Chariot. It included the Gold single “Follow Through,” as well as Platinum hits, “Chariot,” and “I Don’t Want To Be.” In 2008, his self-titled second album, Gavin DeGraw, bowed in the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200 powered by the platinum-selling single “In Love With a Girl.” His Gold-certified Sweeter saw him return to the Top 10 as the single “Not Over You” went four times Platinum. Meanwhile, his duet with Colbie Caillat, “We Both Know,” garnered a GRAMMY® Award nomination in the category of Best Song Written For Visual Media for the feature film Safe Haven. With a front row seat to this wonderfully wild life led by his late parents Lynne and John Wayne, Gavin DeGraw recounted his most meaningful memories and valuable lessons on his seventh full-length offering, Face The River. This past winter, DeGraw released his applauded first-ever Christmas EP, A Classic Christmas, and on Sept. 27 will release Chariot 20, a reimagined anniversary version of his seminal debut album. DeGraw is the rare talent who can seamlessly share the stage with Billy Joel and The Allman Brothers or Maroon 5 and Shania Twain with his signature fusion of pop, soul, country, folk and funk.
