Overview
Hi!
I'm Greg Afek. I'm a very passionate and dedicated musician of 20 years, with 10 years all along the Gulf Coast. Whether it's that song that brings you back to that certain moment or the brightness and flow of one of my own creations, I bring a unique and unforgettable approach to music. With a loop, drum, and bass pedal as part of my set, I mimick a sound that would equate to a full band.
I perform nearly every genre of music, a handful of instruments, with 60 plus originals and hundreds of cover songs. Many have said my sound would equate to a melodic matrimony of rock, pop, jazz, funk, and pop folk, and enjoy my stage presence and love of the universal language we all know as music.

Without a doubt, Greg Afek Music made July 4th, 2021 the most memorable and fun holiday! Amidst multiple torrential downpours, he continued to find ways to entertain our party! Everyone was extremely impressed by the professionalism, kindness and pure talent that Greg exemplified.

Thanks Jeff! I had fun and glad it worked out well!
True showman! Highly entertaining and very talented. Me and a group of friends love going to see him play because he does a wide range of songs and we end up singing along all night. You never know what he will do next. One minute he is singing britney spears and the next he is playing a saxophone. Hands down our favorite local artist to go see when we have a night out.
