An Evening with Greg Greenway at The Living Room at 35 East
Greg Greenway is a critically-acclaimed solo artist and is also known as a member of the vocal trio Brother Sun and for his duo Deeper Than The Skin with Reggie Harris.
Originally from Richmond, VA, Greg moved to Boston for its rich folk music tradition and has become one of its most unique and superlative emissaries. His "In the Name of Love," a lead in to the U2 classic, "Pride," was the #5 song on the Folk DJ list in 2013. It has become a defining piece on his journey to becoming an international artist capable of addressing sensitive topics like race in a way that connects audiences to their humanity while entertaining them at the same time.
Greg has been described as "one of the strongest, and finest voices in folk music." The Boston Globe wrote, "Confessional one moment, rambunctiously disarming the next, few modern folk singers can own a coffeehouse stage as completely as Greenway." Another reviewer perhaps described it best: "A profoundly rich poet and musician. Folk Music is too narrow a description."
Musically, his guitar, piano, and ukulele reflect inspiration from all over the map gospel, rock, blues, jazz, and world music. But his center is in the singer-songwriter tradition that traces its 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 own humanity and affinity for the audience. He has legendary energy, couched in a presentation of high-spirited give and take of such good humor that audiences unfailingly walk away uplifted.
