Literally born to pick, Greg’s musical heritage dates back more than eight generations. During the 1830s, his troubadour ancestors played reels, waltzes and ballads in camps and makeshift taverns along the Mississippi River as they made their way to the Staked Plains. Growing up in a family of musicians that included his father, brother, sister, 10 uncles and both sets of grandparents and a wide array of cousins and friends, Greg learned to play guitar, mandolin, and banjo before he started elementary school.

Greg has spent more than 35 years playing his diverse and eclectic brand of American roots music as a solo artist, in duos, trios and full blown bands in honky tonks, dance halls, coffee houses, dives, pastures and palaces from Reno to Memphis and all points between. He has performed as an opening act for Asleep at the Wheel, Merle Haggard, Townes Van Zandt, Steven Fromholtz, Lester Flatt & the Bluegrass Boys, Jim & Jesse, The Country Gentlemen, Uncle Walt’s Band, Joel Sonnier, Jimmy Vaughn & the Thunderbirds, Brave Combo, Austin Lounge Lizzards, and Quicksilver.

Greg has recorded and/or performed with Slim Richey, Byron Berline, Wayne Tolbert, James Hinkle, Michael Casey, Michael H. Price, Sumter Bruton, Michael Pellecchia, Frank Wakefield, Alan Mundy and Roland White.
