It all started one shiny, happy morning. Or was it cloudy? I can never remember. It's all fuzzy for some reason. Anyhow, I was born in a hostpital somewhere in the western hemisphere (near a fun town colloquially known as GlumStinkTrashTown), and was named after everyone's favorite former U.S. Attorney General, Griffin Bell (1918 - 2009). My first word was something along the lines of "NO!". Fast forward 5 or so years, and I've learned that pianos can make noise that sometimes can sound great. "Interesting," I thought to myself. "I may just be able to use this knowledge to create sounds wonderful enough to bring joy to those around me!" It was about that same time when my favorite song was "Captain Hampton and The Midget Pirates of Willygoat" and I was watching Pixar's Cars two times a day. Fast forward 5 or so more years and I've written 4 hit songs, "Pajamas in the Pool," "Nautilus," "Umbrella", and "Lower Grades (A Teacher's Lament)". Pretty slick eh? Yeahh, I was cool. Any self respecting GlumStinkTrashTown-er needs a niche, and I had chosen mine. Along with curling and the luge (family legacy junk), from then on, music was going to be my thing! Fast forward 1 or 2 years and I'm taking guitar lessons from Crazy Old Man Randawful the Wizard, two blocks down from my place. I'll never forget what he said to me on Flag Day that summer, "Never forget to check for mailmen on the way out of any golfcourse 'Cuz That's How They Getcha'." Only now I understand what he truly meant. Anyways, moving on to the summer of the next year, I took a coding course and was hired to make the super duper professional website for a world renowned soup restaurant based in a small mining town in Sweden called "Fubble Gubble's Amazing Soup". (Look it up, it's a real place!) It started out as just a side gig, but apparantly coding was an important people skill. Yessir, there's nothing like a website completely made from scratch by a human being. No job more sound in my mind. Yeah, life was going pretty good. But it was all about to change because on June 4th, the much anticipated Parry Gripp "For Those About to Shop, We Salute You" re-issue got issued!!! Pretty much my whole life changed after that. I started collecting vinyl records, I started delving into b-sides and rarities of my favorite artists, and most importantly, I invested all of my life savings into a fish-shaped float for the GlumStinkTrashTownDays parade that summer. Oh, and I started recording music. Which is pretty fun I guess. So here's all my music on this here website if you feel like listening to it. Anyhow, I hope you all take home with you this wise knowledge coming from a simple phrase, common here in the western hemisphere, "Oh rats! What did I come in here for again?"*
Griffin Wooley (that's me) Is recording his first all original album RIGHT NOW!!! He may be recording something even as you're reading this!!! Just so you know.
