Griffin House

On Sunday night Dana and I went to see Griffin House play at the Varsity Theater in downtown Minneapolis. I first heard Griffin House when he opened for Mat Kearney at the Rialto in Tucson about 6 years ago. He is a little folk with some rock mixed in. I really like his song writing as he is a good story teller, much like Bob Dylan of old. He played for about an hour and a half and seemed to be making up his set list as he went. We really enjoyed listening to him as he played and interacted with the crowd. A number of his songs seem to have overt Christian themes but in a real life sort of way. I'd encourage anyone who enjoys music to check him out.

And if you ever have a chance to see a concert at the Varsity Theater it is well worth it. It was a great atmosphere and had evidently been recently remodeled.

Here are a few of his songs.

Oh yeah...

I received a long awaited purchase today. This was long awaited because I've wanted to purchase this set for several years now and because of a 30% slash to the price I could finally justify such a decadent purchase. This is a robusto (5 x 50) pack of the 5 most well known Cuban brands. The Hoyo is the Epicure #2, the Montecristo and R&J are not normally offered in this size and then add a Partagas and the famed Cohiba and you can see why my mouth is watering. They will be smoked on grand occasions.
