Okay, I did it. I threw my hat in the ring to win a chance to play at the Crossroads Festival in Chicago this summer.
In order to get there, I need votes – a lot of them. That’s where you come in.
Visit http://playcrossroads.com and register to vote by entering your email address and then confirming it (sorry about this step, but they have to know you’re a human – or close enough.) Here’s how that’s done…
When you first get to that page, the register link is the tab on the right:

Once you click that, you’ll see the register page. You’ll need a fan account which is the top radio button here:

Fill out the rest of the form and submit it. Then check your email for a link you have to click to verify your identity.
Then visit http://playcrossroads.com/griff3 and vote for the band there. Here’s the vote button:

While you’re there, feel free to listen to some tunes I posted. And you can make fun comments too.
That’s it. Thanks and I appreciate the help.

Hey griff!! My best desires for you in this” Cruce de Caminos” with one of the best in this planet. From this small part of the planet: Guatemala City. Buena suerte!!!
Hey Griff;
just wanted to thank you for making everything so much easier & basically, just 4 being yoU. not many people take the time that you have taken to turn so many of us on to simplicity with class. here’s to hoping and wishing the very best that could ever happen, coz you deserve it all.
your brother-in-arms,
jerrry
Griff, I just voted and listened to your songs–my daughter and I love your online lessons-Thank you sooo much for sharing your talents. Here in Bakersfield, CA we have No Stinkin Service Charge Blues Shows, sponsored by Pat Evans-local business owner of World Records. We would love to hear you and Alpaca Love Society live–”Bakotown” is growing in blues appreciation!!! We’ll keep voting!
My vote and Appreciation to you ! ..hoping you get to play beside Clapton .

YO BROTHER Man. you betcha i voted for ya…I’d be a damn ungratefull punk If I didn’t, I challenge any one who has gladly taken your heart felt instructoms you give away in most cases to folks, and then they don’t vote? Especially since you also asks us to…

i,ve been trying for a couple of weeks and cant registar my vote ,but i tried
s lot of times,it was brain damage,hope you dont need them,good luck
Hi Griff, voted for you, so go for it? Cheers Bob
lt was to time consuming to do all of that , but good luck . Also change name of your band . Find something more compelling , and distintive, to seperate your selves from big pack of weirdo named groups. Best wishes for your band though.
i am very sorry i canot log in but any way i will try again and again
Go for it you get my vote, wish you all best of luck
I would vote for you everyday if I could get into the vote section. This is really cumbersome. I have tried several times to no avail. Good Luck. I love your sound.
You got MY vote……….ROCK ON!!!!!!
Griff! I just voted for ya, but I couldn’t seem to log in, finally it happened. I love and really thank your video lessons sent to my e-mail, you’re a great teacher, I found really helpful the playing-in-the-porch lesson, ’cause I use that strategy to learn licks now, I get 5 licks and a turnaround and practice them that way. Eric would be happy to hear you play. I’ll try to vote every day.
Go get em

Griff, This site will only allow me to vote once. When I click the vote button, I get the message “Already Voted”
Sorry
I give my vote to Giff. He”s got what it takes to be as good as Eric. Guitar knowledge and a good attitude.
No matter how I try, I just ca’nt get to vote for you. I’ve logged in mounths ago and still ca’nt get to hit the vote button. For me, this site sucks to surf on. I love the band’s music but ca’nt support you.
Wish I could be there to cheer you on.
Bob Hope (U.K)
Good luck Griff
Roll east and rock them – thanks for all your support
Hey Griff!!!!
A few votes is a small price to pay for all your great free stuff.
Good luck from Australia
Good on ya mate!!!
