The Gregory Page Show with Surprise Guests!
Gregory Page is a product of his own imagination. To describe him in one word would be indescribable. He looks like your kind uncle from a bygone era, neat in a suit with an old fedora in one hand and a vintage guitar in the other. His concerts resemble a vaudeville cabaret act that meets an old time folk revival show, and have been met with great popularity in the Netherlands and Australia.
A Gregory Page concert, complete with song, storytelling and humorous poetry is the perfect antidote to the hectic pace of everyday life. Reserve your seats for this magical night NOW.
Page's musical advisor is Mr. Lou Curtiss, retired proprietor of a half century old record shop in San Diego. Like Tom Waits and Robert Crumb, Gregory has spent years inside that shop with Lou, listening to all sorts of musical styles. As a result of being exposed to hundreds of musicians and their different, unique styles, Page could not decide on one single genre to follow, so he chose practically every style that he heard in Lou's shop.
It made sense to Page, as it made sense to Lou Curtiss, that there are so many wonderful different styles of music, to pick only one to listen to or to be inspired by would be darn right silly. So the fact is within the original compositions of Gregory Page you will indeed hear echoes of the past such as the British crooner from the 1930's Al Bowlly, the voice of Woody Guthrie, Sophie Tucker and countless other performing musicians that have long left the world's music scene. Gregory is a living breathing vintage tube radio console, zig-zagging around the channels, tuning in and singing out with the greatest of ease. His antena sits on top of Lou's record shop, where inside all the secrets of the universe seem to exist for him.
Page's natural ability to genre bend has given him unique opportunities to perform at a wide range of festivals and venues across the world. His countless solo tours in Australia have resulted in him headlining the Manley Jazz Festival and practically every folk festival in that country, including the legendary Woodford Folk Festival.
Gregory Page and Lou Curtiss continue to sit together to listen and explore their mutual love of music from yesteryear, and to this day Page is continues to uncover diamonds within Lou's extensive record collection. Dusting some of these lost songs off, re-arranging and recording them for new life to be discovered by an enthusiastic and growing fan base.
