“You remind me of a young Paul McCartney.” – Katy Perry
“Your level of talent is staggering. If this is what you do at 15, I’m afraid of you.” – Lionel Richie
How does a young rock artist crack today’s music code of formulaic beats & electronica? First, he must have a disobedient spirit that can surpass an industry saturated by computerized music; next he must obtain enough cultural significance like rockers from the past & add in sincere, stirring passion. And Griffin’s “no excuses” rock act delivers it all! He doesn’t fall in line with what’s already out there. Instead, he’s created his own retro rock sound his “GrifFANS” live for.
Griffin’s stage experience started at 8 years of age & has continued with a full cycle of alternating years learning to play each instrument of rock. And he’s played hundreds of shows: with Disney artist Zendaya across the country & Canada, The House of Blues, The Granada, The Gas Monkey, Gilley’s, Lava Cantina, Westfield Presents London, Legacy Hall, just to name a few.
At the age of 13, he won the Texas 10 under 20 Guitar contest at the Dallas International Guitar Festival. In 2016 & 2017, Griffin won 3 categories at London’s Fab Charts Awards (Best Male Artist, Best Video & Best Song). He was also seen on THE VOICE. Then, in 2018, Griffin won Indie Guitarist of the Year in London; he also received 3 Josie Award nominations (Artist of the Year, Entertainer of the Year & Vocalist of the Year). Griffin was also asked to join the prestigious BROTHERHOOD of the GUITAR and represent Music Man Guitars, Ernie Ball Strings & Taylor Acoustic Guitars. That same year, he also scooped up FHR Radio Entertainment’s RISING STAR award for Male Artist & was nominated again by the Fab Charts, the Josie Awards, Radio WigWam Awards & Indie Star Radio Awards. Griffin was also nominated for the highest designation an artist can receive from the Texas State legislature, “Texas State Artist – State Musician”. Griffin also earned a GOLDEN TICKET to Hollywood on American Idol & received high praise from Katy Perry & Lionel Richie for his level of talent & musicianship.
The release of Griffin’s debut album, “Believe It”, gave the world their 1st taste of Griffin’s style of rock & roll – raw, retro & remarkable! From the powerful ballad “Some Kind of Love Song” to his rock anthem “Believe It”, every note that is sung and sound that is heard was performed by Griffin. And his promise to “KEEP ROCK ALIVE” continues with the early 2020 release of “Lead Me” and the powerfully stirring ballad “Heart Full of Love”.

CLASSLESS ACT
It has been sometime since we’ve done an update on the amazingly talented artist from Texas, Griffin Tucker. Many of you know by now that Griffin has become an integral part of one of the best young rock bands to recently take the stage, called “Classless Act”.
The last time the band visited my hometown of Grand Rapids, I was able to catch their performance which simply blew me away. Watching Griffin for the first time live was a real privilege since I have been following his career development and raving about his talent since he was just 11 years old.
Griffin surely didn’t disappoint with his amazing guitar, skills and vocal talent. While he didn’t play the drums for that particular gig, I know he still can rock the drums, as well as the keyboards, bass guitar, harmonica and a number of other string instruments.
While Griffin still does live Acoustical performances on his social media sites and continues to share his activities with his followers and fans, he mostly stays busy with the band’s tours and performances.
Embedded below is a video where Griffin is being interviewed by Dr. Music. Griffin shares his new experiences in the band and a little how this all came about, as well as informing us about the bands new March 2024 Tour with “Adelitas Way”.
Griffin is now a young adult, enjoying the fruit of his labor stemming from his many years of dedication perfecting his musical skills. Rivenmaster is so proud and honored to have been able to share a big part of his growth and musical development over the years on this network of websites. Griffin will always have a place here to share anything he desires to share with his fans.

“After releasing “Gypsy Woman”, we knew that we had to release another monster rock song to follow that up. Not only because Gypsy was a killer tune, but the fans really loved it. So, we started looking at the songs we had ready. We had several songs written and there were a few in the running to be the follow up. Then one day my mom came to me with some lyrics and said see what you can do with these. When she came home, I had written“Get Away”. And we all instantly agreed it would be the second single. There was no doubt it could stand up to – & maybe even be bigger than – Gypsy.” Griffin Tucker

Hardcore GrifFANs know about Vinyl D. Vice but creative differences left that band in the dust. So, Griffin decided to revamp his long-time band, The Real Rock Revolution, and move Patrick Smith over to guitar & bring Caleb Davis in on bass. That makes this new band a rockin’ four-ce with Griffin on lead vocals & lead guitar and Josh Sloan on drums.
“This band is a combination of a lifelong search for the right people and the right sound ” Griffin told us; “We plan to write and record an album and gig as much as possible so we can solidify our stage show. We never want to disappoint our incredible fans!” So look out 2021 – Griffin Tucker & The Real Rock Revolution are coming!

There are many young artists making their mark as singers and performers but only a handful are quadruple threats. This meaning that their musical genius empowers them to not only sing and perform but to play multiple instruments and write & produce their own music as well!
Griffin Tucker is one of those amazing young artists who has more than proven to be true musical extraordinaire!
Today Griffin released his brand-new ballad entitled “Heart Full of Love”! When I first heard this song, I couldn’t stop playing it! For me it was reminiscent of other smash hits by classic groups like the Eagles and Guns N’ Roses, only with Griffin’s true to himself sound and ability to deliver a song with passion and emotion.
Thanks, Griffin, for another amazing original that we all will treasure for years to come! It truly has come from your Heart Full of Love

It’s hard to believe but Griffin Tucker is 19 years old and starting college soon! And that has his GrifFANs wondering what’s next for him? And the answer is more music, of course!
Griffin was lucky. He found his passion for music at a very young age and he’s dreamed of being a musician ever since he learned to play drums at the age of five. Griffin has accomplished a lot for a young person. He has appeared on The Voice and American Idol. He has won numerous awards for his musicianship, including the Texas Top 10 under 20 guitarist plus being nominated by the Texas State legislature for “Texas State Artist”.
Griffin has also released a lot of great music, including his debut CD, “Believe It”, and singles like, “Beautiful Disaster”, “Time Flies” & “Lead Me”.
Griffin’s latest song, just released on November 22, 2020, is a ballad called “Heart Full of Love”. This was Griffin’s first song ever written with award winning songwriter Steve Diamond. “Working with Steve was amazing. He is a natural born songwriter, and his genius is undeniable. The words of this song prove that.”
This was also the first time Griffin allowed an outside musician to play on one of his recordings. “Patrick Smith and I play in several bands together. He is a beast on the bass and has been a true friend for many years. I was honored that he wanted to play on this recording with me.”
Griffin also thanks Casey Di Iorio at Valve Studio for working so closely with him on the recording and mixing of this song. “Not every engineer will open up their studio and let you get in there and be involved so directly with the mix like Casey. I need to be able to give that input because my songs have to stand up sonically to what I hear in my head.”
There will also be a lyric video and a brand-new official video for this beautiful new song coming soon.
Be sure to follow Griffin on all his social media sites above & on TikTok.
