Биография

At first glance, Grover Anderson looks like the kind of guy who’ll drip with earnestness and leave you aggressively whelmed. But then you’ll start listening to the stories he has to tell—the adventurers decimated by ambition, the desperate attempts by the broken to play it cool, the extended metaphors that aren’t as sweet as they initially seem. Sure, he’s got love songs—his signature one is called Sick of You, and there’s another that’s probably not actually about bootleg liquor. And don’t worry, he’s trying to lighten up on the murder ballads; his latest album, All the Lies That I Have Told, received rave reviews despite its relatively modest body count of 13. So yeah, Grover’s quite earnest. But try to stay on your toes. 
 Whether you find his writing wicked or charming, there’s no denying Grover is a product of California’s Calaveras County, following in the wry footsteps of Mark Twain (who wrote his most famous short story there). He often performs with his band The Lampoliers . (A “lampolier” is a soul-devouring demon who dwells in abandoned mines and is probably not a word that Grover made up.) You might have seen him at Alaska’s Salmonfest, the Tucson Folk Festival, or headlining Hermitfest in the Sierra Nevadas. Perhaps you caught him opening for Birds of Chicago, The Charlie Daniels Band, or America. Or maybe you’ve been to one of his sold-out shows in Calaveras County. If not, it's time to remedy that!
