About Me |
|
I am well traveled musician, trying to make all the music i can. When I am not home in NYC playing pedal steel with Danielle Talamini or Joe Thompson, then i'm busy tearing it up on the road playing telecaster and pedal steel with west coast based Speedbuggy, or traveling through Europe performing the modern guitar compositions of Glenn Branca or supplying textures and heat for Trixie Whitley. Projects that are drastically different, but really fun to be a part of. Inbetween sleepless nights and airplane flights i can be found tinkering away creating my own music, some of which you are hearing on this site. i will try to change the tunes every few months so check back in a while. I am available for recording/touring work. Please inquire within. Recent/Current: Speedbuggy, Trixie Whitley, (loiter), Danielle Talamini, Arthur & the Coopers, Joe Thompson, Rosie Flores, Glenn Branca, Luba Dvorak, Luke Rathborne, Paul Ill, Drive Til Morning, Freeters, Arum Rae, Jeremy Yocum and the Last Rounders. For The Archives: Chris Whitley, Reeves Gabrels, Twilight Singers(Greg Dulli), Jim Smith, Jeff London, Teresa Sareo, Nell Bryden, Neil Young, Peter Wolf, Richard McGraw, Andy Friedman and the Other Failures, Bentmen, Tony Lunn, John X, Rio Grande. Quotes of late: "McMullen’s a master Telecaster blaster, adept at the multi-string bends, double-stops and rich ‘n’ reedy voice-like tone... an expert on the pedal steel with fluid command of a range that stretches from modernist experimentation with effects and extended technique all the way back to Hank..." -Ted Drozdowski "Pedal steel player and guitarist, McMullen pours blended whiskey all over his instruments and strikes a match." -Black Angel Promotions "Greg "Elroy" McMullen, the ultimate utility guitarist providing rhythm, baritone, and the occasional lamenting steel guitar." -Billy Donald (MusicDish.com) I am supported by: Ernie Ball/Music Man-guitars and strings Mesa/Boogie Amplification Digital Music Corp./Voodoo Labs-midi switching system and pedals Electro-Harmonix-effect pedals Z.Vex-effect pedals DigiTech-signal processing |
