Griffin House Participates In Esquire Songwriting Challenge; Original Song Available For Download Today Only

|

For its April issue (on newsstands now), Esquire magazine asked five of its favorite musicians— Dierks Bentley, Charlie Mars, Bob Schneider, Ben Kweller and Nettwerk's Griffin House—to come to the Shack-Up Inn in Clarksdale, Mississippi and participate in a two-day fashion shoot with world-famous photographer Danny Clinch. To make things interesting, Esquire also asked each of the musicians to take the Esquire Songwriting Challenge: write, perform, and record an original song with lyrics that include the phrase “Somewhere in Mississippi.” For some of the musicians, this became the title of their song and they used it time and again; for others, they used the phrase once before heading in another direction. The results are five songs as unique and entertaining as the men who created them. 

Today, Esquire is making Griffin House's original song, "The Mississippi Hippie," available as a free download at esquire.com/miss.   After that, the song will no longer be available on Esquire.com (or anywhere else), so don’t miss your opportunity to grab it now.  For more information, visit esquire.com/miss, or pick up the April issue of Esquire.

Griffin House's new album, The Learner, is out June 22 on Evening Records.
