Guggenheim Grotto + Todd Carey + Josiah Leming + Dion Roy August 11, 2010

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 regulars alongside artists like Damien Rice and Glen Hansard, 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.

TGG now returns with its sophomore record, Happy The Man, which boasts the band's signature mix of timeless pop, folk and soaring melodies, but offers a greater maturity and a higher sense of self-consciousness.

"We have naturally become more certain of what we are as a band and what we were capable of," said primary songwriter Kevin May. "With this album I made a conscious effort of working ideas, thoughts and musings on self-awareness and enlightenment into the songs."
