GILLIAN GROGAN (indie, avant-folk)

 

"Six strings and the truth" - NPR Music

"A stunning and infectious voice." - Montana Records

"Powerhouse emotive folk storytelling." - We All Need Someone To Shout For

"Experimental, deep and sensational." - Ear To The Ground

NorCal indie, avant-folk artist Gillian Grogan

 is hitting the road this summer on the Bloom Or Bust Tour 

in support of the midsummer release of "Ants In The Garden" - 

the song that took the NPR Tiny Desk Contest by storm last year

with a treehouse performance that left many in tears 

and was one of the few finalists featured on NPR. 

 

This 50-date, 20-state garden-themed tour is littered with

 unique and fleeting duo and trio performances featuring 

local musicians across the country, offering an early sneak peek 

of the songs and stories comprising 

her much-anticipated sophomore record, Honey Moon.

 

Grogan recently finished recording Honey Moon at 2200 Studios (formerly The Record Plant) in Sausalito,
CA with Grammy-nominated co-producer Ben Bloomberg and Grammy-nominated recording engineer Damien Lewis. Collaborating with artists such as Jason Crosby and The Westerlies,
Grogan has woven together little strands of folk, indie, rock,
soul and nature itself into a sonic landscape
“unlike anything else you’ve heard in 'folk' music today” (Ear To The Ground). 

 

Honey Moon explores questions without answers, love without purpose, and chords without resolve.
It embraces readiness without preparation, vulnerabilities without  judgement,
and seeks to release the present from the past.

It is a collection of songs and interludes that speak to a single truth—
that it is our flaws which make us most beautiful,
just as it is the dust and pollution in the earth’s atmosphere
which casts a warm amber hue on the moon at the horizon, as it rises, as it falls, and rises again.

 

Pairs well with massive vistas, bustling gardens, light mischief, hope and traveling alone.
