ABOUT GRIFFIN HOUSE

Griffin House (born April 21, 1980) was born and raised in Springfield, Ohio. His father worked in a tire shop and his mother helped place children with foster families. In high school, the athletically-gifted House landed a role in a musical and was surprised to learn that he had a natural talent for singing.
House bought his first guitar for $100 from a friend, turned down a golf scholarship to Ohio University and instead went to Miami University in Oxford, Ohio and started to teach himself how to play the guitar and write songs. House began writing and recording and issued his first independent release, Upland, in 2003.
His music attracted attention from Nettwerk, a Vancouver-based management company and record label, and House partnered with the label's American branch to issue Lost & Found in 2004.
In August 2004, on CBS Sunday Morning, music journalist Bill Flanagan (MTV/VH1) raved about Lost and Found, putting the newcomer on his short list of the best emerging songwriters in the U.S. “I bought House’s CD after a show in New York City,” said Flanagan, “and this never happens: I took it home and must have listened to it 20 times that weekend. I was knocked out.” Several self-released albums followed, and in 2008 House released Flying Upside Down, produced by Jeff Trott and featuring Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench.
House has released the majority of his records on his imprint label, Evening Records. House has toured extensively, opening for artists such as Ron Sexsmith, Patti Scialfa, Josh Ritter, John Mellencamp, Mat Kearney, and The Cranberries. Since 2007 House has been a national headliner.
Griffin's latest release "The Learner" came out in the Summer of 2010.
He lives in Nashville, Tennessee.

ABOUT MATTHEW PERRYMAN JONES

After honing his performance skills at the ever popular listening room Eddie's Attic in Decatur, GA, Matthew Perryman Jones set his sights on Nashville and launched his career five years ago with the release of his debut album Throwing Punches in The Dark. Swallow the Sea followed a few years later further solidified Jones, as noted by Performing Songwriter Magazine, as a talent that follows "…in the footsteps of Lenard Cohen and John Lennon."

Matthew Perryman Jones recently released Until The Dawn Appears which features "retellings" of some of his most popular songs (including "Save You", who's video features Jamie Alexander from the show Kyle XY and the new film Thor) alongside a handful of new tunes tossed in for good measure.

Matthew's songs have been featured in a number of popular TV shows including Gray's Anatomy, Private Practice, Bones, and One Tree Hill, to name but a few.

Matthew's toured with Ingrid Michaelson and has shared the stage with the likes of Shawn Colvin, Paula Cole, and Patty Griffin; while also doing co-headlining tours of his own with Joshua James and Jay Nash. He's also a member of the collective "Ten Out of Tenn" (featuring fellow singer/songwriters Trent Dabbs, Erin McCarley, Katie Herzig and others), who just finished a tour in September.
Matthew is also in the mist of completing his new album, which will be released in the spring of 2012. USA Today has described his music as "Gorgeous," and American Songwriter says "..Matthew's voice ensnares listeners with a rare authenticity and gritty strength."
