ACL 2022: Goth Babe

Sunday at 2pm.  This is an interesting fellow.  The band name is the first clue: the music is not goth and he's not female. It's the moniker of Griff Washburn.  Born in Memphis, he is a wandering musician.  From this interview:

Recent Pacific Northwest transplant, Goth Babe, formerly known as Griff Washburn, is out to eventually take the alternative music genre by storm. Originally starting his music career in Nashville, he then moved to New York City shortly after, and then on to Los Angeles.  

According this website:

Griff currently lives off the grid exploring a variety of lifestyles. Currently living between a sailboat, tiny home or camper van, surfing up and down the west coast with pup, Sadie. He writes and records his music in the back of his camper off of solar power, while in the midst of following good weather and good people.

Indie rock/jangly guitar/synth pop. "Canary Islands" is good. It has a New Order bass beat in it which is nice.  "Running Around" is good, too.

I say we go watch this set after Buffalo Nichols.

He's headlining Scoot Inn on Sat. Oct. 8th with Sarah and the Sundays opening. Two female-themed bands without any females. It's sold out.  

This video shows his camper and I suppose his dog.
