Dear world,
I am happy to announce that I've accepted the invitation to open The Cranberries reunion tour, from the dates of Nov. 12th through Dec. 5th. Three nights in Canada, and fifteen shows in the United States. It's quite an honor. I'm very excited. I hope you will come out and see me open for The Cranberries in one of these cities near you.

See you soon, and thanks for listening!

Hello everyone,
I'm beginning a two week tour on the 14th of Oct. We start in Greenville SC. Hopefully we're coming to a town close to you.

We'll be doing a pretty stripped down set, with quite a few old songs I rarely play and some songs from the new record I'm working on. If you haven't had a chance yet, check out the new B-sides record too!

Hope to see you soon.
Much love,

- Griffin

Hi Everyone,

I know some of you were concerned that I was dead. I was walking down the street in Nashville last week and I heard through a bullhorn, "ladies and gentlemen, Griffin has left the building." I yelled back, "no, I'm not. I'm right here!" "No, you've left the building," they guy on the bullhorn said. I couldn't see his face, but from the way it sounded coming out of his mouth and through the horn, I knew he had a smirk on his face. So, then we got in a shouting match, but since I couldn't see him, I just had to get in my car and drive away. Then I made a bunch of stickers that said, "I'm not dead," and I passed them out all over town so people could put them on their cars, and guitar cases and whatnot.

I guess the rumor started because my website, and facebook, and myspace had not been updated in some time, other than to post a few tour dates this August, and those weren't even up for awhile. But sometimes it's good to disappear for awhile, stop twittering, stop creating news to report, and just melt into the slipstream of your own dream.

Part of my absence has been because I've put this compilation of songs together. 42 and a half minutes with ol' Gballs, B sides and unreleased materials which comes out today! I've added some personal commentary to go along with all the tracks, so you can get a bit of an idea of where the songs came from. I hope you have as much fun listening to it as I had putting it together. While I'm talking to you, I'll tell you that I'm recording my record this week.

I really appreciate all of your support. I hope it hits you right in the heart.

- Griffin

PS: Go fall in love

Hi Everyone,

I've been laying low for awhile after touring so much this Winter/Spring.

Spending a lot of time working on my new record, due out this Winter, as well as a B sides compilation that will be coming out this Summer, in a few weeks.

The Summer is flying by, and as it comes to a close, I'll be starting a run of shows with Needtobreathe and Green River Ordinance. As far as the lineup goes, I'll be going on right in between the two bands every night.

If we don't come near your town on this run, we'll be there soon.

Hope to see you out there!

- Griffin

Attention Akron and Knoxville,

I, Griffin House would like to invite you out to some last minute shows added to his winter tour.

Mon 3/2 Akron, OH - Musica ... Tickets HERE

Tue 3/3 Knoxville, TN - The Square Room ... Tickets HERE

I've been touring the country this winter, 30 plus shows in six weeks, it's by far the best tour I've ever been a part of. Come see Clint Wells rip up some nastastic lead guitar solos, Jeff Irwin take the bass line for a walk, and Evan Hutchings keep those cymbals nice and splashy. Here's a little ham and egg

I am in Grand Rapids right now writing you all this short blurb. We are looking forward to coming your way, playing zeeeeee rock n' rolls, and all zeeeee hits songs we have in our magic back of goodie tricks. I would also like to add that Veronica Corningstone and I are dating and are in love... Anchorman, never really gets old, does it?

If you haven't seen Gran Torino, I would also recommend seeing that immediately, and also You Tubing Bill O'Reilly flips out for a great laugh. I'm pretty sure Ron Burgundy was based on this. After you do that, come out to our shows. Get your boots on.

- Gballs

PS: When I'm done with this tour I will be home crying myself to sleep every night from the sheer exhaustion of being on the road for two months and then turning right around to go on the Ten Out of Tennessee tour for a month, so if my eyes look red when you make it out to those shows, please, don't make fun of me. T.O.T. dates below.

See you soon!
