Bernie Griffen and The Thin Men

Bernie Griffen’s songs are melodic, soulful tales of a life well and truly lived on the fringes, full of love, pathos and colourful stories that play like anthems and tap into a vein of testimony. Roughhouse or psychedelic folk, blues country or folk blues, he’s hard to categorise quick to move.

His third album recorded with Kirsten Warner in Melbourne is due out mid-2017.

A well-known figure in the New Zealand music industry, Bernie’s the host of 95 bFM’s roots music show Border Radio. He combines his talents with his life and musical partner, guitarist/vocalist Kirsten Warner.
