Griffin House didn’t begin playing guitar and writing songs until he was 18. The athletically gifted House shocked his family by turning down a sports scholarship to focus on music and, after graduating, moved to Nashville, started doing solo gigs and, within months, was headlining and touring with the likes of John Mellencamp and the Cranberries. Attracting the attention of major labels, he signed with Vancouver label Nettwerk and released Lost and Found.
His intelligent, heart-felt lyrics and melodies have made such songs as “The Guy Who Says Goodbye to You Is Out of His Mind” and “Better Than Love” radio mainstays. House released his 8th album BALLS in 2013, garnering even more commercial and critical acclaim.
This spring, House released his new album SO ON AND SO FORTH – a collection of original tunes that are considered some of his best yet and sure to please both old and new fans.
Music by the Fireside with Annie Stokes at DuCard Vineyards

Annie is talented not only with guitar and vocals but also with the ukulele and mandolin, and will entertain you with classic rock, country, bluegrass, and acoustic renditions of popular songs along with originals. All that and a glass of wine spells a fabulous afternoon at DuCard! No cover.

Radio Bristol Premiers: Dylan LeBlanc
Radio Bristol Premieres: Dylan LeBlanc at the Birthplace of Country Music Museum on Friday, December 2. Radio Bristol Premieres focuses on new recordings debuted before a live audience, as well as a live broadcast and webcast on Radio Bristol. The artist will highlight music from the new release Cautionary Tale.
Overwhelmed by the speed at which his gift took him from Applebee’s server to “the new Neil Young” in a matter of months, he walked away from an unlikely major label deal after releasing two critically acclaimed albums. He slipped into a blur of booze and self-doubt. Exhausted and damaged at just 23-years-old, Dylan came home to Muscle Shoals, Alabama to write a new life for himself.
In between the moments of clarity and a few familiar falls, he also wrote a new album, Cautionary Tale: a collection of shimmering, arresting songs with the same haunting vocals that caught the attention of Lucinda Williams and Bruce Springsteen, now with a sharpened edge honed by hastened maturity.
