Griffin House performs at Jersey Shore Arts Center - December 21st

Critically acclaimed singer/songwriter and storyteller Griffin House will perform
at Jersey Shore Arts Center in Ocean Grove on Saturday, December 21st at 8
PM. New Jersey native Cranston Dean will open the show. Advance tickets are $30
and can be purchased at https://jerseyshoreartscenter.ticketleap.com/. The show is
part of the on-going Split Level Concert Series which highlights renowned Americana
and contemporary folk musicians in a uniquely intimate setting.
Touring and making records for over 20 years, Griffin House has a discography that
includes more than 15 albums and EPs. His 2004 album, “Lost and Found,” was
featured on CBS Sunday Morning by music critic and then Vice President of MTV/VH1,
Bill Flanagan, who named House one of the best emerging singer-songwriters of our
time.

After forging a loyal fan base through years of grassroots touring as an opener for acts
such as John Mellencamp and the Cranberries, House broke through as a national
headliner in 2009 with an appearance on Late Night with Craig Ferguson and the
release of his underground hit “The Guy That Says Goodbye to You is Out of His
Mind.” The music documentary “Rising Star,” released on Amazon Prime in 2019,
chronicles House’s journey through the music business, as he attempts to balance the
challenges of life as a traveling modern-day troubadour with marriage, fatherhood and
sobriety.

House’s music has been featured on prime-time television shows such One Tree Hill,
Rescue Me, Party of Five, and Everwood, and reviewed in magazines such
as Paste, No Depression and Rolling Stone. American Songwriter wrote “if you want to
be blown away by raw talent, look no further than Griffin House.” His latest releases are
2023's “The Tides,” a five song EP recorded with Grammy Award-winning producer
Jacquire King, and “Summer Dream,” a three song EP released earlier this year.

Opener Cranston Dean is a New Jersey native with an ancient New England soul. His
music draws from Americana, folk, jazz, country, blues and pop to translate and
transform the human condition into beautiful works of art. The singer/songwriter has
been a featured artist in clubs throughout the Jersey Shore (especially Asbury Park);
including The Wonder Bar, The Stone Pony, Asbury Park Yacht Club, and others. He
has shared stages with River City Extension, Simone Felice, Rayland Baxter, Nicole
Atkins, Nora Jane Struthers, Julie Rhodes, and more.
