Griffin House at The Hamilton in DC
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.
