Born in Australia, raised in Toronto and New York, briefly a resident in Colorado, Ohio, and North Carolina, Greg Tannen is the son of an amateur jazz pianist and the grandson of a magician.
His music has "won more awards than his website has space to list, such is it's quality" and with one listen it's easy to hear why. Besides a flood of wins in international songwriting competitions (John Lennon, UNISONG, USA, ISC), and in festivals (Sierra Songwriters, Telluride, Rocky Mountain Folks), Greg's music can be heard on national TV (Dawson's Creek, Party of Five, etc), on national radio (NPR), and in award-winning films.
He's also shared the stage with musical greats such as Rosanne Cash and John Hammond.
He tours across the U.S. either solo or with his band, and was twice chosen as one of the "Top 12 Independent Albums" of the year by Performing Songwriter magazine.
Greg lives in and works out of NYC, and is a regular at places like the legendary Bitter End.
