Greg

My name is Greg, and I'm a guitar player from San Angelo, TX. I live in Cleveland Ohio now, for the last nine years, and it's freaking cold. I work with alot of different people/bands, and if you aren't careful, I may end up working with you. I love Shiner beer, really hot wings, and my gear. I am really obsessed with it, and maintain it almost to a fault. In addition to my own acoustic project, G.S. Harper and the Lonesome Tomatoes, I also work, or have worked in the past with Hayshaker Jones, California Speedbag, Chris Nekvinda, Kevin McCarthy, G.S. Harper and The Sinners, Miss Magnolia, Whitey Morgan and the Waycross Georgia Farmboys, Robert Cornelius and the Lucky Bastards, Paul Michael (The Adults), The Big Bananas, The Roast Beef Sandwich Band, Mojo Street Exit, The Walkin' Cane Band, The Jake Harper Trio, and the list goes on... And that's just in Cleveland. Before I moved here nine years ago and began freezing my ass off on a regular basis, I worked all over Texas, New Mexico, and oddly enough, the rest of the country. My buddy Marsh says I've been more places than Johnny Cash. I've been everywhere man. I have a lot of guitars, because I like alot of different sounds. I'm currently using Fender, Gibson, Kit Harper, and Switch electrics; and Martin, Gibson, Alvarez, Harmony, and Kit Harper acoustics. I have amps by Marshall, Traynor, Fender, and Kustom, and a rack for my acoustic gigs stuffed with ETA, Sabine, ART, and Pre-Sonus pieces. I also own my own PA consisting of JBL and Yamaha gear, great small club system.As a guitarist, I am heavily influenced by a wide array of players, including but not limited to Dickie Betts, Eddie Shaver, Doug Pettibone, Mike Campbell, Elliot Easton, Andy Summers, Johnny Marr, James Honeyman-Scott, Dan Vickrey, Gurf Morlix, Clarence White, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Lowell George, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Albert Collins, Albert King, Bernie Leadon, Bill Kirchen, Jimi Hendrix, Jerry Garcia, Pete Anderson, shit, this could go on all day...It also could be said (even though I don't play the instrument) that I have been influenced by the pedal steel styles of Buddy Cage, Sneaky Pete, and Ralph Mooney.Why am I telling you all of this? In case you need a guitarist. I love working with new people, as long as I enjoy their music, and they are nice folks. I have no interest in cover bands, I did my time, and now I'm done. I love original music, preferrably with a rootsy style, and with elements of country, rock, blues, or all three. So if you have a gig or a recording session you think you could use me on, give a shout through the page here. Monetary compensation is entirely negotiable, and depending on the project/gig, may not even be necessary. I would never pass on something I really liked because of money, unless I felt I was being treated unfairly, or being taken advantage of. Wings, beer, good songs, and good company are great motivators if you are short on cash.--
