Greg Everett: Vocals, Guitar
With a lifetime of experience as a professional musician, performer, and composer, Greg Everett brings his own music, solid vocals, and funky to lush guitar stylings to the table.
Greg began writing songs as soon as he began learning guitar at the age of 15. Drawing from jazz greats of the 50s, 60s and 70s, along with the likes of B. B. King, Billy Joel, Eric Clapton, Chicago, and others, his original music emerged as an eclectic tapestry of styles.
Greg has performed as a soloist and with several Midwest bands throughout his career in venues ranging from clubs and cabarets to performing arts shows and large concerts. He arranges vocal and instrumental elements in many genres of music and he has worked with industry icons including George Strait, Lacy J. Dalton, Crystal Gayle, Ides of March, Tower of Power and many others. Greg composes in genres including country, jazz, blues, funk, and other styles. His song, "Durango" was signed by one of Nashville's top music publishers (Al Jolson Black and White Music) in the early 80s.
In 2014, Greg released his first online album, "I've Never Been Here Before" featuring Gerry Plank on saxophones. In 2017, he released a solo acoustic album, "De-Plugged" by "Wow And The Bar Flies." (GregEverettMusic.com) (Bandcamp)
