  • Bio

    GOVE SCRIVENOR ...... ..Myspace Editor.... ..Pimp MySpace.. .... .. .. .... .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ........ GOVE AND JOHN PRINE NORFOLK,VA 4/09 .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. When looking for expressive and uncommon sounds, Dolly Parton, Neil Young, Dan Seals, Hank Williams, Jr., Iris Dement and Glen Campbell all turned to the evocative sound of Gove Scrivenor's autoharp. When Gove released early albums on Flying Fish Records, his friends, Doc Watson, John Hartford, Marty Stuart, and Buddy Emmons...all lined up to contribute to his recordings. Now joined by John Prine, Nanci Griffith and Lari White for his first Compass Records release Shine On, Gove has created a collection of five self-penned and selected favorites of fellow artists. Gove, once again, introduces songs that are full of life and energy and his very personal, soulful sound. Gove moved to Nashville in the early 70's after a four-year stint as a submarine sonar technician in the Navy. This move proved to be a wise one, as he was signed by the largest music publishing company in the world, Acuff-Rose. Wesley Rose saw in Gove the qualities that his struggling TRX record label needed, and Gove was soon signed to a recording contract as well as a songwriter agreement. Things began to happen. Scrivenor signed a management and booking deal with the Don Light Talent Agency in Nashville. During his years with Don Light, Gove toured with fellow agency artists Delbert McClinton and Jimmy Buffett and the Original Coral Reefer Band. These successes opened many doors and he was soon performing TWO YEARS in succession on the popular PBS series AUSTIN CITY LIMITS with Doc Watson and The Amazing Rythm Aces.. He played the character of Daniel Boone on the National Geographic Recording written by Billy Ed Wheeler entitled "Cumberland Gap". Gove was often called for jingle work as well.including the early Opryland campaigns for TV and Busch Beer. The CD "Shine On" on Compass Records featuring John Prine, Nanci Griffith, Lari White and Guthrie Trapp follows the success of Gove's two prior releases on Flying Fish Records. The First.."Shady Gove" featured such masters as Doc Watson, John Hartford, Buddy Emmons and a host of others. It was the first of two highly regarded albums for the label. Coconut Gove, his second release, features contributions by Marty Stuart, Ben Keith(Neil Young), and Dave "Please Come To Boston" Loggins. These two albums were re-issued by Rounder Records (Flying Fish) in 1999 as a compilation entitled Solid Gove. Now we're provided with another unique opportunity to hear this master at work. His latest CD "Made Of Sand" was completed in the spring of 2007 and is available now. It features guest appearances by Emmylou Harris,Guthrie Trapp and Nanci Griffith along with the best of the best pickers in Nashville.. It was recorded at Jack Clements' "Cowboy Arms Hotel and Recording Spa" and John Prines' studio "The Butcher Shop".. Pat McInerney and Gove produced the whole shebang! Goves music has been described as "high energy folk blues," with inventive slide work and powerful vocals, tempered with singular work on the autoharp and beautiful ballads of his own writing. He's well known for his magical rapport with audiences of all ages.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..........View gove scrivenor's EPK..

    Gove, I so enjoyed the house concert tonight. And I really enjoyed hanging out and talking with you, too.
    I told you that I've been a fan since 1979 or '80, as you discovered when I gave you guys a ride home in my lovely Mazda POS, and you heard yourself blasting out of my stereo when I started the car. LOL

    I'm already looking forward to next time!
