Greg Hale

About Me


Greg Hale was born and raised in the hills of Appalachia in the small town of Marietta, OH. He has performed in numerous bands, ensembles, and side projects including Morning Round, The Vitreous Floaters, and Lozada to name a few. Throughout the past few years, Hale's original music repertoire and show schedule has dramatically increased due to his tireless work ethic, and his desire to perform various dynamic shows at a multitude of venues in the Midwest and beyond. His solo performances incorporate his diverse array of original music and cover songs as old as the 1950's. Thanks to the new craze looping, Hale is able to play a variety of instruments simultaneously at his live shows using a looping pedal and layering other instruments on top of his existing ones. This gives his live performances the energy and richer sound you would hear from a full band. You can also currently find Hale on stage with The Bourbon Kings, The Remnants, The New Classics, Justin Arthur, and James Perrine.

New video for my new song BFE

It's the first video at the top in my "sounds like" section of my page. The song is relatively new but I'd still like to hear what you think.
