Granville Automatic

Granville Automatic, the duo of songwriters Vanessa Olivarez and Elizabeth Elkins, is named after a 19th-century typewriter. Their fifth album, Tiny Televisions, was released in conjunction with their first book "Hidden History of Music Row" (with a foreword by Kix Brooks and named No Depression's Best Book of 2020). The girls’ devotion to the band has proved a chaotic road of back-breaking touring, interpersonal tension, former-day-job balancing, other-band leaving, and a love-hate dynamic that brought them from Atlanta to Nashville. Theirs is a creative partnership reminiscent of Lennon-McCartney, a dreamer-doer, accessible-obtuse, country-rock collision of two polar opposites. What the two share, however, is a love for nostalgia: old records and antiques, tarot cards and dusty books, ghosts on battlefields and lost stories from the past. That common ground has produced five albums widely praised from The New York Times to an Editor’s Pick in No Depression. 
Olivarez and Elkins have written songs recorded by country stars Billy Currington (the single “Drinkin’ Town With A Football Problem”), Sugarland, Kira Isabella, Wanda Jackson, Angaleena Presley and numerous others. You've heard their songs on ABC’s American Crime and The Lying Game, as well as Netflix’s The Ranch.
