Greg Reiter - Flamenco Guitarist

In a restaurant: Subdued, peaceful, ambient, sitting down version of Greg.

In a Corporate setting: Can either be lively energetic stage performance with or with out a live band, or can be ambient sound set in a corner somewhere in the convention center.

In a concert setting: Can either be a full sound with full band with heart felt sounds, or can be over the top Gipsy Kings energetic performance.

Greg Reiter, a Berklee Music College Grad and BMI artist, is one of the

leading American flamenco fusion guitarists. In 2009, his album

Sedona Sun won both the Phoenix and LA Music Awards in the

instrumental music category. Another one of his albums, The

Gatheringa colaboration with a Native American flute playerwas

nominated for a NAMMY that same year. In 2010, he released his

fourth album, Flamenco Fusion, from which his version of Chris Isaak's

"Wicked Game" has already garnered more than a 300,000 plays on

YouTube alone.

Greg's compositions capture the essence of flamenco; "the passion,

fury and romance," while at the same time incorporating haunting

rhythms and primal beats from Africa to Asia and beyond. Although he

has been strongly influenced by some of the masters of flamenco such

as Paco de Lucia and Vicente Amigo, Greg stresses that his

compositions are not meant to imitate flamenco in its pure state.

Rather, flamenco is the easle on which a more complex work is

painted. Behind the red swirling sands of "Kalahari" and the turquoise

waters of "Positano," the passionate longing of the flamenco guitar

reminds us that music, like the gypsy, is meant to travel freely and

without borders.

In Greg's show you can hear guitar greats by artists such as Acoustic

Alchemy, Ottmar Liebert, Gipsy Kings, Johannes Linstead, Charo, and

Jesse Cook.

I can perform remote without electricity with a battery powered sound system.

For larger venues or concert performances, I will use a much larger sound system.
