Griffin Anthony

With an unforgettable first name, Griffin Anthony’s songs echo the resolute courage of other unmistakable first-named greats: Townes, Jackson and Levon.
​​
He writes.
​
And he sings. Hauling a heavy soul, his wary, deep-set, hickory eyes and 6-foot 5-inch delivery are as indelible as his moniker.
​
As a teen, the 38-year-old New York native worked his summers as a stagehand for the Newport Jazz and Folk Festivals before eventually signing with BMI and Orange Music Publishing in 2008.
​
He has performed at festivals including Wanee, SunFest and CMJ, while his catalog has garnered licensing by the likes of ABC, Hugo Boss and Disney. A multifaceted creator, Anthony was the principle film score composer for the Woodstock Film Festival selected documentary, Catskill Park as well as HBO’s Call to Action and I Wanna See You.
​
Success in commission-based songwriting provided Anthony a leg to stand on, but more importantly, the foresight to distance himself from anything that felt unnatural.

In a time of limitless distraction and instant gratification, Griffin Anthony isn’t concerned with trends. He leads with his music, owns his words, and represents the genuine article.
