For those of you who missed Dave’s show this past weekend, you missed an amazing artist. Between the harmonica playing, guitar playing and the beautiful voice and lyrics, Dave kept us all on the edge of our seats and definitely wanting more!

 

Thanks for a wonderful evening, Dave!!!

Beneath the radar of the corporate music world there are gems to be found. Greg Greenway is a multi-faceted one. A rare combination of instrumental expertise, a soulful and moving singer, powerful poet, and sparkling entertainer, Greenway is one of those difficult-to-categorize performers who have found a home in the modern acoustic genre. Originally from Richmond, VA, he moved to Boston for its rich Folk Music tradition and has become one of its most unique and superlative emissaries. Put simply, he is one of the finest entertainers you'll ever see. Musically, he draws inspiration from all over the map--gospel, rock, blues, Jazz, and world music. But his center is in the singer/songwriter tradition that traces it roots all the way back to the social awareness of Woody Guthrie. His central appeal is that it all comes through the singular lens of Greenway's humanity and his easy affinity for the audience.

 

Among Greenway's performance highlights are a show at Carnegie Hall in the New York Singer/Songwriter Festival which was rebroadcast on NPR's World Cafe, an appearance on nationally syndicated Mountain Stage, and a show at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame honoring Phil Ochs. In August of 2000, Greenway was seen world wide on CNN's World Beat in a segment on socially conscious artists. He was filmed at the Clearwater Hudson River Revival Festival performing along with Folk legend Pete Seeger and others. Greenway was featured on the weekend edition of NPR's All Things Considered. In a recent survey of Boston's premiere Folk Music station, WUMB, of all artists large and small over their 20 years on air, Greenway was picked 12th. At the end of October 2006, he was selected to sing his trademark remake of U2's, "In the Name of Love" to close a rally at the University of Virginia that featured NAACP Chairman, Julian Bond.
