Murphys, CA…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. 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.
