About Me |
|
| GreggSwan is a unique & talented musician that has shown a fascination with the guitar from a very young age,making them out of cardboard and rubber bands until finally,at the age of 13, his dad,Marshall bought him his 1st guitar.it was a pawn shop special and Gregg was facinated with it and practiced constantly,Gregg spent a lot of time playing in teen bands,highschool bands,in the church on sunday! Just about anywhere he could.(back in his hometown of ToledoOhio,that is) With his mom Sara's help Gregg finally managed to get a really serious guitar and started taking his playing to the next level, including playing with Shirley Murdock,who went on to become a staple of roger troutman and zapp,and sang on the (computer love)recording,among countless others.One of greggs fondest memories coming up occured when he was a young player coming up. Greggs band was performing at a show at an arena annexed to a larger arena where CarlosSantana was performing,subsequently,carlos and the boys came over after their show and did a couple of songs with G's band and Carlos even played on Greggs guitar! (G has always been inspired by the spiritual connection found in Carlos's playing and encompasses a very spiritual approach in his playing as well) While in Toledo Greggs played with many great musicians including Brian lee,Jr springs,JerryJones,"Tiger" nicholas,TonyMiller,jerry holden,and of corse far too many great musicians i can list here,including ScottHenderson,one of the worlds hottest jazz fusion guitarists,who Gregg shared many allnite jamsessions honing his skills with.Gregg also played with "tiger"TonyNicholas, the late Gerald leverts producer who wrote hits for many artitst including"practice what u preach"for Barry White.after touring the country and performing with several bands,including a tour of Taiwan with Gerald Foster.Gregg also spent time performing with legendary bassist,DanyelMorgan,who is currently a WarnerBrothers recording artist with blues/funk Ikon,RobertRandolph&theFamilyBand.Gregg is currently preparing 2 release his 1st solo CDproject,in which Gregg has written,produced,engineered and perpormed all instruments,and sang all the vocals on the CD,Including some of Greggs unique and characteristic GuitarSynth work!So let your hair down and come take a ride with GreggsfunkyMind!!... | |
