Rising Artist Gregory Griffin Releases Visual for “Salt Flats”

The talent coming from Nashville, TN is indescribable. Singer-songwriter Gregory Griffin is soaring into new heights with the official visual for his latest single “Salt Flats.”

Over the course of the three-day road trip, the singer-songwriter wrote the lyrics intermittently. This song tells the story of leaving behind a bittersweet life to embark on a new one, inspired by the beauty of the Utah Salt Flats.

In the middle of a global pandemic, I was forced to reflect upon what I really wanted to do with my life, and that was music. I felt there was no better place to make my musical dream come true than Nashville. So, I drove myself and all my earthly belongings across the country from San Francisco, CA to start a new life. As I drove through the desert salt flats of Utah along my journey, I was inspired and began scribbling notes and ideas that would become the lyrics for Salt Flats. The song is mostly autobiographical and it’s a mix of themes and meanings. But the main message behind the song is that it’s kind of a breakup song with California. It’s about the excitement of starting a new life. And who doesn’t love a road trip? It’s such a driving rhythm that was written on and for a great American road trip. It’s totally a road trip song. When I got to Nashville and finished writing the song, I was listening to (and playing) a ton of Sturgill Simpson and Tyler Childers, and those artists were a huge influence musically on the song.” explains Gregory

Salt Flats was recorded at Saxman Studios in Mt. Juliet, TN with producer/engineer Grady Saxman. The session band includes Kirby Bland on drums, Matt Skates on double bass, Whit Wright on pedal steel, and organ.
