Join us for the first of our Saturday Songs live music series! Special “build your own” charcuterie boards, wines by the glass, bottle and beer, along side the sweet.
We are so excited to welcome singer/songwriter Grover Anderson (of the Lampoliers) to Plaisance for the first time! Coming to us from the Sierra Nevada foothills, Grover is a country-folk musician, remarkable story teller, wordsmith and all around talent. Think Josh Ritter + Jim Croce + Garth Brooks.
At first glance, Grover looks like the kind of guy who’ll drip with earnestness and leave you aggressively “whelmed.” But then you’ll start listening to the stories he has to tell—the adventurers decimated by ambition, the desperate attempts by the broken to play it cool, the extended metaphors that aren’t as sweet as they initially seem. Sure, he’s got love songs—his signature one is called “Sick of You,” and there’s another that’s probably not actually about bootleg liquor.
Whether you find his writing wicked or charming, there’s no denying Grover is a product of California’s Calaveras County, following in the wry footsteps of Mark Twain (who wrote his most famous short story there). He often performs with his band The Lampoliers. (A “lampolier” is a soul-devouring demon who dwells in abandoned mines and is probably not a word that Grover made up.)
"Anderson is a storyteller extraordinaire. He crafts imagery through stunning lyricism like the town cryer.”
