Though he’s never been a contestant, Graham Colton is inextricably linked to “American Idol.” The heartland rocker, who has often been compared to a young Tom Petty, has toured with (and also dated) inaugural Idol Kelly Clarkson, and his 2007 single “Best Days” became the exit music for the 2007 season of the popular FOX talent show. Last year Colton released a trio of intimate EPs: Twenty Something, Pictures on the Wall and Dashboard Memory.
