Greg

Greg Kelley is the lead trumpeter for Nmperign, Heathen Shame, & Cold Bleak Heat. He was born in New England in the early ‘70s during Autumn. In the late 1980s, Mr. Kelley studied classical music in the South, fleeing North to Boston after his studies ran their course. There followed a short period of intense solitude after which Kelley insinuated himself into local avant-garde circles. The late 90s saw the birth of Nmperign and the beginnings of a period of touring and travel whereupon Mr. Kelley began to meet a vast array of colleagues and collaborators. He currently works in the insurance field and has significantly scaled back his touring and performing regimen hoping to find some kind of focus and to stop the world from spinning around his head so fast. The future sees a plethora of recordings on various media. If you see him in the street or at an international musical event, bring up Werner Herzog, artisan beer or the Shadow Ring and you're sure to get a rise out of this notoriously dull personage.www.geocities.com/greyelkgel
