Over the past three years Mick Lynch and Kevin May of pop/folk act The Guggenheim Grotto have touched U.S. and U.K. audiences in a way the duo couldn’t have imagined. From setting out as Dublin songwriter circuit to building a devoted cult following in the U.S. with warm embraces from media and competitive iTunes charting, the band has captivated audiences and tastemakers on both sides of the pond with its mix of poetic, often literature-inspired lyrics set to timeless, soaring pop melodies.
The band’s debut album, …Waltzing Alone, was self-released to immediate critical acclaim in Ireland on September 9, 2005, and its first promotional single “Told You So” rapidly became a firm favorite on Irish airwaves, reaching No. 12 on the Irish National Airplay Chart. In America, awareness of the band began to rise thanks to the support of DJs like David Dye at WXPN, Kate Bradley on XM50’s The Loft and Nic Harcourt at KCRW, and in March 2006 the band traveled to Austin to perform a brace of gigs at SxSW. TGG released …Waltzing Alone in the U.S. on United For Opportunity on September 26, 2006, and in November of that year embarked on its first U.S. national tour. Now with four U.S. tours under its belt, the band has found itself having made huge in-roads with American audiences and industry alike – from playing listening rooms across the country to large festivals, performing on tastemaker radio programs to Charleston’s nationally syndicated Mountain Stage radio/TV show.

Great show in Seattle, opening for TMBG. Love the ukelele & amazing harmonies. I like the stripped down live sound better than the slightly overproduced studio tracks I've heard. Vertigo is an amazing song, btw.
