Griffin McMahon is a young musician from Longmeadow, Massachusetts. An enthusiastic performer, Griffin is known for his versatility as a singer/multi-instrumentalist and performer of a substantial repertoire crossing many musical styles. His collaboration with his older brother, Sean S. McMahon, an outstanding singer-songwriter at the New England Conservatory of Music, stimulate both of their creative potentials.
Whether it's George Gershwin, James Taylor, J.S. Bach, Billy Joel, Cesar Franck, or Charles Ives, Griffin delivers in his solo performance a crossing of the boundaries that distinguishes him as a young yet mature, budding artist who always brings his passion, soul, and enthusiasm to the table.
Griffin's performances have included solo concerts at New England summer festivals, organ and piano performances across the East Coast, and gigs in the UK and Ireland. He frequently entertains (in the solo piano/vocal format) at local restaurants, piano bars, and private functions. He has had the honor to perform with his high school orchestra, the Longmeadow HS Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Michael Mucci, performing at Carnegie Hall in March 2008. He also has had the honor of performing in Boston Symphony Hall, Springfield Symphony Hall, and Mechanic's Hall.
Griffin has been Music Director/Organist at the Church of the Good Shepherd in West Springfield, MA, since the age of 13. The experience has not only given him a wonderful opportunity to grow as a musician and organist, but gives him a nurturing environment to grow as a communicator and philanthropist. In April 2007, Griffin proudly organized and presented a fundraiser concert which benefited $600 for the U.S.O. (Look on the news page for any of Griffin's upcoming concerts)
Griffin has had the pleasure and fortune to work with some incredible mentors. He is extremely grateful for the inspiration and support that his music teachers and family continue to give him not only for music, but in life as well. Special thanks to:
Peter and Abby Thomsen, Peter Beardsley, Michael Mucci, Kayla Werlin, and Mike Smith.
