Reading, PA born Greg Reiter has devoted 35 years to mastering the many forms of guitar music. His adventure in music has taken him to New York , Washington DC, and London , where he was the lead guitarist for a nwobhm group. Greg has devoted himself exclusively to Flamenco/Classical Guitar. His influences include Paco de Lucia, Manolo Sanlucar, and many others. Greg released his first flamenco-inspired CD, Fireflies , in 1996. When asked about this particular form, he says "Flamenco guitar is a form that I believe to be the most to powerful to convey emotions."
Greg's newest CD, Sedona Sun , is a fusion of classical guitar with jazz and flamenco technique. From the subtle textures of Positano to the mesmerizing sound of Kalahari , his music sweeps you away into an alternate time and place. Greg explains, "When I write my compositions, I have the need to not only express myself and the mood of the song, but to travel. I close my eyes, and picture myself in a beautiful place visualizing my surroundings. Music to me is both a state of mind as well as a feeling deep inside my heart."
His compositions attracted the attention of a top Hollywood entertainment firm, who paired him with Heart's Roger Fisher. The duo worked on the soundtrack for The Big Cat Encounter , a documentary produced for the Big Cat Habitat. Another of Greg's compositions, Thunderbird , was considered for the major motion picture Contact , starring Jodie Foster.
Greg's most notable performances include concerts at The Yavapai Performance Hall ( Arizona ); The Presidential Yacht ( Washington DC ); the Latin American Embassies ( Washington DC ) and the Loews Miami Beach Hotel ( South Beach , FL ). His recent performances include opening acts for Barbara McNair and the Manhattan Rhythm Kings.
His love for music and life has him ready to tour. "Life is an adventure, and my music continues to take me to many new exciting places, both imaginary, and real."
