About this Event

“Greg is one of the most versatile keyboard players in the Bay Area. He can play jazz, classical, contemporary, and has a flair for upbeat honky-tonk and ragtime compositions.”
-Kevin Frazier, General Manager Empress Theater

Originally from Connecticut, Greg now resides in American Canyon CA, northeast of San Francisco. After hearing Dr. John play piano, Greg developed a passion for two-fisted piano styles like boogie woogie and New Orleans jazz. His most recent project Rent Party Piano is inspired by the rent parties that were common in urban American cities in the 1920's and 30s, where renters would invite guests to parties a few days before rent was due, charging 25¢ for admission and have live musicians perform, serve food and drink, and celebrate. These compositions are dripping with honky-tonk, jazz, blues, and blazing boogie-woogie influences from pianists like Fats Waller, Professor Longhair, Pete Johnson, and Dr John.
