# Event Details - **Event Name**: Grover Anderson & the Lampoliers – August 8, 2026 @ 7pm - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 08 Aug, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Sat, 08 Aug, 2026 at 10:00 pm - **Event Description**: Grover Anderson hails from Calaveras County and—like its former resident, Mark Twain—revels in the tragic, the mundane, and the absurd. Anderson has made a name in the Sierra Nevada foothills, writing tall tales masquerading as songs—sometimes funny, sometimes deadly serious, always honest. Raised in the small town of Murphys, California, Anderson grew up devouring Americana in the form of music, literature, and history. While studying theater at UCSB, he earned cash busking, his clever lines snagging the attention of locals, tourists, and bar owners who eventually invited him to come play inside. After an extended stop in Oakland, he returned to the hometown that inspired him. His songs—narratives of adventurers undone by ambition, small-town characters trying to play it cool, or bare reflections on his life—merge Twain’s folksy storytelling with music triangulated somewhere between Lyle Lovett, John Prine, and Garth Brooks. Over the last few years, Anderson has shared stages with acts ranging from Shakey Graves to The Charlie Daniels Band to America, appeared at festivals including Alaska’s Salmonfest and Millpond Music Festival, and brought his brand of story-driven folk-rock to audiences in more than half the states. He’s often joined by The Lampoliers—Josh Certo, Dave Duggan, Marshall Henry, and a bevy of other talented collaborators—with whom he produced his 2021 album All the Lies That I Have Told, showcasing his knack for murder ballads and small-town odes. 2024’s Hold Tight Together turned inward, drawing inspiration from the realities of pursuing ambitions while raising a family. His 2025 singles “Hart” and “Naked Phone” reveal how his songwriting ranges from poignant to playful, and Apple Music Radio’s Ty Bentli premiered two of Grover’s singles (“Willie Nelson” and “Sticker”) on his show. When he’s not playing music, he moonlights as a high school teacher at a school named for another American storyteller, Bret Harte. Earnest yet wry, rooted in tradition yet wholly his own, Grover Anderson continues the Gold Country legacy of turning everyday lives into unforgettable stories. https://groveranderson.com Opening the night is Honey Run!
