Gryphon is a Progressive Rock band known for playing medieval and Rennaissance style music. Formed in the United Kingdom in 1972, the original lineup consisted of Richard Harvey (recorder, crumhorn, mandolin, keyboards, vocals); Brian Gulland ( bassoon, trombone, crumhorn, recorder, keyboards, vocals); Graeme Taylor (guitars, vocals); and David Oberle (drums, percussion, lead vocals).Gryphon saw success in the 1970s with achievements such as recording five albums; performing live at folk and rock clubs; touring the UK, Canada, the United States and Europe; and even joining Yes on stage.The band dissolved in 1977 due to the rise of punk but would reunite with a different lineup in 2009. Gryphon got back together in 2015, cutting a sixth album in 2018 and a seventh album in 2020.No relation to Black Gryph0n or Merv Griffin

The Butcher: Three of them in "Three Jolly Butchers". One of them named Johnson is an actual butcher and is a heroic example as he fights off ten robbers.

Genre Mashup
 Gryphon (Music) / int_cd3703a2
comment
Genre Mashup: Sometimes going into Genre Roulette and Genre-Busting; while considered Progressive Rock, there's also elements of Folk Music, medieval folk rock and Renaissance. Rounding this out is classical music as Richard Harvey and Brian Gulland were both classically trained at the Royal College of Music in London.

Bizarre Instrument: Gryphon uses the bassoon and the crumhorn in their music, instruments not normally found in rock music.
