Highly Recommend Greg for ANY Event!

Greg played our Open House; he was very professional and his music was just the right touch to create the ambiance that we were seeking. He tailors his music just the way you want, whether loud and rocking or jazzy and soft, to fit your event. I would highly recommend Greg for any event and I am planning on hiring him again for future events.

Best in the Midwest!

Greg is a top notch musician, unbelievably talented, great to work with! I've seen him countless times, each time performing at a level very few musicians are ever able to accomplish. And he's incredibly easy going and easy to talk to. He would absolutely be my first choice of any guitarist in the area!
