The talented high school athlete took his $100 guitar and taught himself how to play and write songs. It's proved to be a good choice. Overten years later, House has definitely learned how to play and write a song! After graduating, House moved to Nashville and independently released his first album, Upland (2003). His music attracted national attention leading House to sign with Vancouver based label, Nettwerk, and he released LOST & FOUND in 2004. In Aug of that year, CBS Sunday Morning Music Journalist, Bill Flanagan (MTV/VH1) raved about the album, “I was knocked out.” Several self-released albums followed – most on Griffin's imprint-Evening Records. He's toured extensively, opening for artists such as Ron Sexsmith, Patti Scialfa, Josh Ritter, John Mellencamp, Mat Kearney, and The Cranberries. While steadily on the road, Griffin also took time to record his next studio album. So On and So Forth is a collection of original tunes that old and new fans will consider some of his best work: the beautifully penned PARIS CALLING – Sweet Sensation, a love song to Paris which Griffin pre-released last December after the Paris attacks to the to-live-by anthem ofE ASY COME EASY GO and feature track YESTERDAY LIES, So On and So Forth is certain to ‘knock you out’. www.griffinhousemusic.com Watch "Yesterday's Lies" HERE
