Griff’s Room Band, a pop/rock/indie band visited our studio to perform a few of their singles. The band originated in 2011, when the founding members David Adley, Liam Anastasia-Murphy, and Michael Cammarata, began playing for tourists in Colonial Williamsburg. After some time of surprising unsuspecting tourists with their music, the three members decided to formally begin Griff’s Room Band. The band has now expanded to include a total of 5 members and is officially based out of Richmond, Virginia. In our studio, the band performed several songs from their new EP Shut the Case. Fun Fact: one of the founding members, David, plays the fiddle…adding a fun Americana feel to their music. The session and interview were aired live and later archived onto our SoundCloud.
