Originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Graff attended Taylor Allderdice High School where he wrote for school newspaper The Taylor Allderdice Foreword.[1][2] He received his Bachelor of Journalism degree from the University of Missouri.[2] He wrote for the Detroit Free Press from 1982 until 1995 when there was a strike at the Detroit Free Press. Graff refused to cross the picket line and subsequently lost his job.[2][3] Graff has contributed to publications including The New York Times, Billboard, The Boston Globe and San Francisco Chronicle.[4] In 2005, Graff published The Ties That Bind: Bruce Springsteen A to E to Z. One reviewer said that the book "comes close to being the definitive study" on Bruce Springsteen.[5] He is also the founding editor of the MusicHound Essential Album Guide series.[2] He now lives in Detroit, Michigan.[6]
