The Winsome Griffles play a discerning and spirited mix of
southern/Americana/rural tunes from the Great American Songbook,
plus sassy originals just fer kicks. Sincerity and humor vie
for lead during high energy and splendidly played sets.
The Griffles are an ideal supplement to many diverse bills, and additionally
are not bad at all with a thick slab of crisp pepper bacon and a stack
of Saltines.
Their music is fermented and distilled using choice ingredients such as harmony vokes, piana, base gittar, banjo, and a kit o' tubs. It's good neat and on the rocks.
