He has collaborated with a Who’s Who of USA notables including T-Bone Burnett, Van Dyke Parks, Roger McGuinn, Heartbreakers Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench, as well as David Hidalgo of Los Lobos.
Sid Griffin is known to British audiences from the Long Ryders and his frequent appearances on both BBC radio and TV as a pundit.
