Griffin House

An amber smooth voice with subtle grit, driving guitar, and an unassuming stage presence create the backdrop for Griffin House ‘s deliciously catchy and utterly personal original songs. A Nashville musician with a Midwestern upbringing, House launched into a music career as a college student after discovering Bruce Springsteen, Woody Guthrie, and the Mermaid Avenue albums by Wilco and Billy Bragg. In addition to several albums and over15 years of national tours, House has served as an opening act for the Cranberries, Josh Ritter, John Mellencamp, Ron Sexsmith, and many others.

Griffin House ’s new record “Stories for a Rainy Day” is a collection of 9 songs written during the pandemic and recorded in just 3 days, and is being described as his most happy and upbeat yet. The album was recorded by Tim Pannella using a stripped down trio set up with Jersey based musicians Eric Novod on drums, Mark Masefield on keys, and House on guitars and vocals. With minimal production and the band playing together as opposed to overdubbing, the songs have a space to be more playful, free and alive.
