"The Canyon elevates Griffin's catalog to a higher level of songwriting, simultaneously demonstrating sophistication and simplicity. The result is substantial: each instrument finds its voice, whether it be the syrupy wail of the pedal steel or the anchored pocket of the electric bass.” — Top 40 Charts

[...regarding Ridgefield Playhouse performance 4/11/13...] "As the audience trickled in, they seemed immediately entranced and charmed by the tall, handsome crooner singing to them, beckoning them to their seats. The house fell silent and Griffin took us on a journey that seemed to span many genres rather than stick to just one. Griffin described his music to me as a sort of blend of soul, americana and pop when we met before the show backstage. I was pleasantly surprised to find his demeanor much less commanding than his name and was immediately put at ease by his warmth and his modesty... He spoke to the audience as if we were old friends and his music translated the same. His bluesy almost cowboy-like licks and driving strum patterns were hypnotic and kept us all at the edge of our seats, each song another story into Griffin’s life, his love and soul bared for us to share.” — Petra Herceg, MoshPitReport.com

"Anthony's got a sexy whisper in his singing voice, like John Mayer or even Robin Thicke - just not as overt or crass, thankfully. Rather, he seems more interested in the song than in seduction, and that makes his sound considerably warmer; his lyrics, too, lean to a more complex mix of darkness and hope. Calico Queen, off The Canyon, even has a growl.” — Westport Magazine

"Quality, not quantity. With only 4 songs, 29-year-old New York native Griffin Anthony delivers a complete Americana/Pop EP of pure genius.” — The Driftwood, University of New Orleans

"When a song plays as a movie in your head, you know it's a good thing... Griffin has that ability to write a song that I can see as well as feel. Love is my favorite song from this four-songs-aren't-enough EP.” — Ellen Marie Hawkins, Relate Magazine

“Just listened to [Crazy Ways]. It sounds great. Kind of Heartland Funk, which may be a completely new term...” — Lee Levin / Grammy award-winning Engineer & Producer

“Griffin Anthony takes both the singer and songwriter aspects of his occupation quiet seriously, creating music on Crazy Ways that ranges from compelling to breathtaking. Crazy Ways is incredibly polished without sounding slick or over-produced. Don’t be surprised if Anthony outlasts most of his Indie contemporaries and is still making viable, compelling music a generation hence. He’s that kind of talent.” — Wildy Haskell / ‘Wildy’s World’
