Angels Camp, CA…Grover Anderson was raised in the gold rush town of Murphys, CA. The rich culture of the area, along with lifelong exposure to fiction, theater and music, instilled a storytelling nature that is evident in Grover’s writing. He assembled a bar band while attending UC Santa Barbara, and shortly after recorded an album, Innocent Insinuations of songs he’d written in school and while traveling Europe.

Since returning to Northern California, Grover has written and released two albums,Tourniquet and The Optimist.
The opening track on the mostly-acoustic Tourniquet, “Moonshine”, has generated strong interest through digital streaming. The Optimist is a collection of songs that celebrates the human capacity to be deeply affected by others, and the ghost story “The Lampolier” has received strong reviews from multiple music sites.

Grover’s true passion is live performance. Whether performing solo with his acoustic guitar or with the full band behind him, he channels musical heroes like Garth Brooks, Josh Ritter, & John Fogerty in leaving everything he has on stage. He is a passionate performer who grows his fan base with every gig, be it for a wine bar of thirty or an amphitheater of thousands.
