About Me

I want my damn DVD back.
With musical roots forged in the same NYC music scene that spawned such diverse artists as Godfrey Townsend (of The John Entwistle Band and Alan Parsons Live Project), Mark White (of Spin Doctors), Kim Clarke (of Defunkt), Double-Z, and countless others, and with numerous influences ranging from rock to metal to progressive rock, blues and beyond- the thing that matters most to Greg in the music is the groove. He is currently the touring bass player for NYC singer-songwriter and recording artist, Michael Maxwell .
Toonz & pix coming soon... Really.
