Our pal, and local musician Dain Griffin has released his debut solo album Dead Flowers. You can check it out digitally here: Spotify Apple Music Bandcamp And if you’re interested in physical copies: https://www.hiddenhomerecords.com/products/736050-dain-griffin-dead-flowers Checkout the full press release: Once upon a time, Dain Griffin played in bands. He also went on tour with these bands. Sometimes, these bands played for ten people in a basement. Other times they played for 200+ people in a venue. After years of this, Dain quit playing in bands to focus on himself and his family. But at the end of the day, Dain Griffin is a songwriter. And when life happens, a songwriter has to write songs.

Last Friday at The Theater (RIP The Joint), Violent Femmes and Flogging Molly co-headlined with special guests Me First and the Gimme Gimmes and THICK.
