Northern California indie, avant-folk artist Gillian Grogan is hitting the road this summer, releasing two new studio singles and sharing her evolving signature sounds with audiences from Seattle to Boston, Asheville to Denver, Bozeman to the Bay and many towns between. Her forthcoming release "Ants In The Garden" made a huge splash as one of the top five finalists in last year's NPR Tiny Desk Contest. The much-anticipated studio single arrives this June alongside what promises to be a festive first few weeks of the Bloom Or Bust Tour.
Grogan has woven together little strands of folk, indie, rock, soul and nature itself into a sonic landscape “unlike anything else you’ve heard in 'folk' music today” (Ear To The Ground). Tickled strings, floating vocals, hammered riffs and belted requests—she has taken the plot and given it curves, let it swell and shrink back again. Her debut album rumbles with a thirst for adventure, devastating loss and hopeful love against an endless quest for balance, for peace.
Grogan recently finished recording her second studio album, Honey Moon, at 2200 Studios (formerly The Record Plant) in Sausalito, CA with Grammy-nominated co-producer Ben Bloomberg and Grammy-nominated recording engineer Damien Lewis. Honey Moon explores questions without answers, love without purpose, and chords without resolve. It
embraces readiness without preparation, vulnerabilities without judgement, and seeks to release the present from the past. It is a collection of songs and interludes that speak to a single truth—that it is our flaws which make us most beautiful, just as it is the dust and pollution in the earth’s atmosphere which casts a warm amber hue on the moon at the horizon, as it rises, as it falls, and rises again.
Pairs well with massive vistas, bustling gardens, light mischief, hope and traveling alone.

Vermont indie chamber folk to make you weep into your tomatoes
"Master storytellers." – NPR
"A fresh-sounding, true delight of an album." – Folk Radio UK
"Breathtaking in its beauty and ambition." – The All Scene Eye
"Spellbinding storytelling." – Red Line Roots
"Melancholy [and] melodically whimsical." – Atwood Magazine
calls Laura Heaberlin and Taylor Smith of Cricket Blue “master storytellers”, and the All Scene Eye says Cricket Blue “sets a new standard for fiction-folk.” In 2019, the duo released their first full-length album, Serotinalia, to widespread praise, and were voted “Best Folk Group” in Vermont’s Seven Daysie Awards. As a response to the interruption of live music in 2020, the duo spearheaded a series of elaborately-arranged covers of songs from the Over the Garden Wall soundtrack, which have since earned a small but enthusiastic international following. Heaberlin’s songwriting has been featured on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and Cricket Blue has been featured as a formal showcase artist at NERFA multiple times. They have played stages and festivals around the United States and Canada and are working on their second full-length album.
