Griffin talks about his move to Nashville, how he fell in love with Honky Tonk music as well as 80s rock. He opens up about his new project he just released that was recorded by our very own Charlie Chamberlain. He also gives us the scoop on what its like to have a weekly residency at the world famous Roberts Western World and to tour and perform with the wild Wheeler Walker Jr.

Our surprise guest is mandolinist extrordinaire Thomas Cassell who is known in the bluegrass community from his work with Circus No. 9, a band that has since went on indefinite hiatus. Thomas now is the mandolin player in Woodbox Heroes, a top notch bluegrass band filled with all stars. Thomas also plays with his own project as well as gigging with Mason Via and The Cleverlys from time to time.

We were also lucky enough to hear these two render us a lovely duet performance on piano and mandolin.
