Graham Maby

Graham Maby is an English bass guitar player. He has recorded and toured with Joe Jackson since his first album, appearing on most of Jackson's albums and tours.
Maby was born and raised in the central south coast town of Gosport. Working exclusively with Joe Jackson since the late 1970s, in the mid 1980s he began working live and in the studio with Marshall Crenshaw. In the early 1990s he toured with Graham Parker, Garland Jeffreys, the Silos, and Darden Smith. In 1996, Maby joined They Might Be Giants, and from 1998 until 2002, he recorded and toured with Natalie Merchant. Maby has also recorded and toured with Joan Baez, Freedy Johnston, Henry Lee Summer, Ian Hunter, Regina Spektor, Chris Stamey, Shivaree, and Dar Williams.
Along with playing bass, Maby also produced several tracks on Johnston's 1992 album, Can You Fly. He appeared in the 1986 movie Peggy Sue Got Married as a member of Marshall Crenshaw's band, and very briefly in the 2019 Todd Phillips movie Joker as a member of the "Murray Franklin Show" band.
His first-born son Christopher, a musician and actor, died in 1998.
