Griffin House (the artist) plays Griffin House (the venue)
There are two opportunities to experience an up close and personal house concert with acclaimed singer-songwriter Griffin House for two Valentine's weekend shows on Feb. 13 and 14. Born and raised in Ohio, Griffin House opted to decline a golf scholarship to college in lieu of pursuing his musical gifts. His songwriting is spiked with doses of roots, rock, blues and country - all inspired by the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Woody Guthrie, Wilco and Billy Bragg. House has released the majority of his records on his imprint label, Evening Records.
