Featured Artist: Thomas Griggs
/Meet Thomas Griggs—affectionately known as Griggs.
He is a super nice guy and touring guitar player with Intervals—Aaron Marshall’s impressive visionary band.
According to Griggs, Intervals may best be described as a modern, eclectic, fusion quartette that hangs on the boundary of pop and metal. But nicely melodic. The newest album is less metal and more fusion—slipping into the R&B / Pop side of things.
And if that wasn’t enough to already be impressive, when available Thomas is also gigging every Saturday and Sunday with a worship group and working on his own modern jazz trio project. The trio was about ready to hit the studio when we all went into isolation. Now he is taking advantage of the time to work on more great tunes with his Anderson Icon in hand. And when we can all come out to play again they will be ready to record. We can hardly wait.
Griggs is also spending some time writing things you will want to read—working on material to eventually release highly informative guitar books—licks and super cool transcriptions. You can definitely learn a lot from this player.
Thomas attended the University of Tampa, where he earned a degree in Classical Music and then also graduated from Berklee College of Music.
