The Foxhole Prayers

About Me

After many years and other musical endeavours, the year 2007 has brought together a group of musicians calling themselves, The Foxhole Prayers. The project is headed by Singer/Guitarist/Songwriter Greg Riordan, formerly of Once Hush and the Greg Riordan Project, has been on the mid-Atlantic scene for over a decade. Amassing a large catalog of songs along the way and playing shows with everyone from The Samples, Virginia Coalition, CSN, Laughing Colors, Jump, Little Children, The Pat McGee Band, Everything, Whiskeytown, and SuperDrag while touring the intercontinental United States and the Virgin Islands. In 2005 Greg landed back in MD and met Chris Wojtal. Chris, coming off a stint as one of the guitarists in Baltimore based rhythm and groove band LUCA, was looking for a new gig when LUCA split and approached Greg about playing bass with him as part of an evolving cast of characters and ideas. Mark Dinaldo, drummer extraordinare, has toured with the Karl Shuman Band and played previously with Greg. Mark was enlisted to help The Foxhole Prayers round out their sound and find their groove. The project had also featured both Garrett Anderson (guitars/vox), Kenton Dunson (drums) and Jon Crill (vocals).
