Grovesider

Featured Artist of July 4, 2026
with the album: "Here We Go Again"


Artist's Biography

Grovesider is one of those artists who writes like he’s standing at the edge of something — a memory, a mistake, a new beginning — and turning it into melody before it slips away. His sound lives in that familiar intersection of indie rock and singer‑songwriter grit, where guitars carry the weight of old stories and the vocals feel like they’re letting you in on something personal.

There’s a lived‑in quality to his music: warm, human, a little bruised, but always reaching for clarity. Grovesider doesn’t chase trends; he builds songs the way people build shelters — with intention, with patience, with the understanding that someone out there needs a place to sit and breathe for a moment. His work feels handcrafted, honest, and quietly cinematic, the kind of songwriting that resonates long after the last chord fades.


About the Album

"Here We Go Again" is Grovesider’s latest step into the cycle of falling down, standing up, and trying once more. It’s an album shaped by repetition — not the dull kind, but the human kind: the way we return to old habits, old hopes, old roads, even when we know they might hurt us. Grovesider turns that loop into a narrative, giving each track the feeling of a chapter in a story you’ve lived yourself.

The album moves with a steady pulse — guitars that glow like streetlights on a familiar walk home, vocals that carry both resignation and resolve, and lyrics that sit right in the pocket between reflection and release. Some songs lean into the ache of déjà vu; others push forward with a quiet determination, as if reminding you that starting over is still a kind of progress.

_Here We Go Again_ isn’t about giving up. It’s about acknowledging the truth: life rarely moves in straight lines. Grovesider captures that beautifully, offering an album that feels like a companion for anyone who’s ever said, “Alright… one more try.”

On LonelyOakRadio, it fits perfectly into that late‑night current where the indie world gets honest — where listeners lean in, and the music answers back.


Featured Artist of November 2, 2025
with the Album: "Never Not Enough"


Artist's Biography

This is the third album from Grovesider; it's an album which is the best yet, and as with the first two albums it is rammed with songs which are equally uplifting and thought-provoking.

To have ended up with twelve songs of such high quality is all the more impressive after the life-impacting occurrences for David Edward Pope (who is Grovesider).

Apart from one, all the songs were written in 2024, then studio demos were developed in January 2025 before work on the album had to stop because of what happened to David.

He was well enough to re-commence work on the album in summer 2025, with completion in September.

All the words and music is written by David, but once again he has worked with his long-time collaborator and producer Alan Charles Smith. All songs are arranged and performed by David and Alan with the exception of the drums which Lewis Williams did a brilliant job on.
