Биография

With an unforgettable first name, Griffin Anthony’s songs echo the resolute courage of other unmistakable first-named greats: Townes, Jackson and Levon. 
 He writes. 
 And he sings. Hauling a heavy soul, his wary, deep-set, hickory eyes and 6-foot 5-inch delivery are as indelible as his moniker. 
 As a teen, the 38-year old New York native worked his summers as a stagehand for the Newport Jazz and Folk Festivals before eventually signing with BMI and Orange Music Publishing in 2008. 
 He has performed at festivals including Wanee, SunFest and CMJ, while his catalog has garnered licensing by the likes of ABC, Hugo Boss and Disney. A multifaceted creator, Anthony was the principle film score composer for the Woodstock Film Festival selected documentary, Catskill Park as well as HBO’s Call to Action and I Wanna See You. 
 His most recent full-length effort The Art of Collecting, released on Big Eyes Records, showcases the ability to balance ambition with authenticity. Recorded in West Nashville with producer Jon Estes (Kesha, John Paul White) and the additional aid of Single Lock Records' Steelism and Molly Parden, the discreetly charming ten-track LP explores the more complex emotions between ‘happy’ and ‘sad,’ finds hope in often overlooked places, and reckons with the way we treat one another.
