“I’m ecstatic to finally deliver [Say What You Will] into everyone’s most patient hands,” says folk Americana singer-songwriter Hope Griffin of her upcoming EP release party. Not one to rush art, the Asheville performer has planned a two-hour showcase that draws heavily from her “four-year labor of love,” a potent six-pack spanning “soulful ballads to high-energy blues.” The musician’s earnest approach to lyrical storytelling aligns perfectly with her soothing, acoustic delivery of each song. Griffin, along with special guests Lyndsay Pruett, Jamie Leigh O’Neil, Andrew Thelston, Nick Peterson and Jim Simmons, will hold her limited-capacity release party at Isis Restaurant and Music Hall lounge on Friday, Feb. 6, at 7:15 p.m. $8. isisasheville.com.
