On a dreary Tuesday night in Philadelphia one of the best things you can do is go see some live music. The amazing benefit of being in a city with such a huge population and an amazing depth of musical talent, is that you can easily find a "local" artist opening at most shows. The promoter to band connection works extremely well in matching up Philly area bands with artists that are coming through town, a situation that would not happen in a majority of the cities across the country. On this particular Tuesday, Our Griffins came down from the Lehigh Valley to support the tour of Lost In The Trees and All Tiny Creatures. On the day Lost In The Trees released their new album Past Life, they were also treated to some amazing Philly talent with Our Griffins starting off the night at Johnny Brenda's.
These songs present well no matter the environment. Whether it's the quiet Victorian Room at North Star Bar, the exquisite listening experience that is a Sofar Sounds: Philadelphia house show, or the ready-for-big-time stage at Johnny Brenda's. It's going to be great to see them as the stages keep getting bigger and bigger!
On the way to SXSW
While you can still see Our Griffins a few more times locally, they band is packing up their stuff and playing their way to SXSW in March.
