This week we have music from CA native Grover Anderson who was in the area attending a Folk Music Conference. He’s the thirty-something, dad-bod rocking, acoustic guitar-playing eponymous frontman of the second biggest band in his small town, and his name is Grover Anderson. Raised in the historic gold rush hills of Calaveras County, Grover writes songs that tell stories of love, loss, and frontier mischief. He lives twenty minutes out a decrepit one-and-a-half lane road in the wilderness of the Sierra Nevada foothills with his wife, daughter, and dog, and when he’s not touring he teaches high school Drama and English. He has self-produced four albums, including The Frontman, The Optimist, and an acoustic album From the Pink Room, which was named the #2 album of the year by music site Independent Clauses.Subscribe to Front of House on YoutubeTwitter, IG, FBIf you like the music and want more, please consider donating to our Patreon! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
