Sundilla will welcome Griffin House to Auburn on Friday, April 8. Showtime at Pebble Hill is 7:30; advance tickets are just $20 and can be found at Spicer’s Music, Ross House Coffee, and online. Admission at the door will be $25. Since first breaking into the music scene almost 20 years ago, Griffin House has been considered a “rising star,” which might be one reason that “Rising Star” is the tile of his latest album. And part of his career definitely fits the definition: he had been in Nashville just a few months when he signed a record deal, saw his first album lauded by critics, , was noted on national TV as “one of the best emerging songwriters,” and found himself touring with John Mellencamp and The Cranberries, and meeting the likes of Bruce Springsteen and Willie Nelson. Some might consider that a path to “overnight success,” but “I’ve been a “rising star” for the past 15 years” House jokes, “It’s a slow rise.” That slow rise has seen the Ohio native release more than a dozen albums, enjoy plenty of success as national headliner for over a decade, and earn a great deal of respect as a well-known performer and singer-songwriter. And he shows no signs of slowing down.
