Here's Greg and percussionist Duncan Wallace doing a rendition of Scratch from Greg's THIS HERE ALBUM down at the Sunday Evening Music Show at
El Zaguan in Madrid on 29 March 2009.
Here's Greg playing his 'Hey, Mr. Beer Drinking Man' at Tesauro in 2007.
Someone at one of my shows wrote this questionable description on 16 October 2003:
Great guitar work and high production quality compliment Gobel's voice, which is reminiscent of classic Cash with shades of Waits and early Springstein on the latest album. Live shows display his versatility not to mention his stamina in delivering song after song with a high degree of energy and enthusiasm.
And, another said this on 2 Feb 2004:
I do remember years ago at a Crosby, Stills and Nash concert David Crosby prefacing an acoustic song by saying, 'This is wooden music, or quiet music that needs quiet.' And another said this on 28 June 2004:
Great to hear music that has feeling and humor but isn't over-produced.
And now it's John Fogerty!!

Greg is the host and organiser of the SUNDAY EVENING MUSIC SHOW, which will be held at PICNIC BAR in Malasana - starting in October 2009. The first 20 editions of SEMS had their home at the now defunct EL ZAGUAN in La Latina. SEMS features some of the best underground and digging to the surface singer-songwriters in Madrid. The SHOW is designed to bring musical pleasure to your ears and showcase an ecclectic mix of performers in an intimate and very cool environment (with a bar that serves up ice cold bottles of Galicia Estrella - one of the best Spanish beers around and hard to find in Madrid). Up to now, SEMS has featured many great talents: Jules the Late Developer, Mississippi Bryan, Fajardo, Aroah, Mike Ballan, Boat Beam / Igloo, Spencer McLean, Anni B Sweet, NeiZ, Mat Van Kriedt, Motociklor, Before the Blue, Cold Feet, Marcus Doo & his friends, ADWIP, Crixtina Copado, Hector and Julie, David Lind, Rocio Leon, Amanda Galvez, Eddie Monzo & Heidi Buff, Starry & Marrone, Russ Parton, Alan Doyle, Javier Calequi (La Loba), the Ezra Beats, Guada Alvarez (La Loba), Alana Sinkey, Diana, Lindy Woracheck, Kester Jones and Wild Honey.

Greg also hosts and organises NO MIC MADRID at CAFE DORE and previously for a year at NANAI - a guts no glory musical evening once every month or two featuring several talented acoustic musicians who aren't afraid to bare it all! As Bruce Springsteen says, 'There’s something about those instruments…
Something about those things, those true folk instruments
The ones that didn’t have to be plugged in.
That meant they were meant for travel
They were meant to be transient and to move with people
And in and out of people’s lives
They were meant to be played in homes and bars…
Those are the instruments…they still come to life in that setting.’
...
Greg used to co-host OPEN MIC MADRID in 2007 along with it's founder, Jules the Late Developer, godfather of acoustificationmanicalization. This show is currently out of operation.
...
Greg's looking to make music for film soundtracks.
...
Greg has done some collaborations in Madrid, both live and recorded, with 'Mississippi' B, Trisha G, Cold Feet, Jules the Late Developer, Chica Niporesas, Rocio 'Go Spiral' Leon, Nacho Marrone, Marcus Doo, Ana from Tete a Tete, Ana Lopez & Turlough Kelleher and more. Greg was featured on Radio Utopia's 'El Hombre que esta enamoro en la luna' radio show on December 4th, 2007. He's also a member of Barcelona's Gracia Arts Project. Greg's also the bass player in Marcus Doo and the Secret Family, Madrid's only electric alien folk band.
Greg is from Cleveland, Ohio...
then he spent 4 years in Nashville, TN...
then he spent 7 years in Prague...
Now he's been in Madrid for about 5 years...
Greg's voice is raw and his guitar is muddy. His homebrewed 'pounktry folck' is Quiet, loud, especially raw, and mostly made from wood. His songs cover a wide range of themes: gnomes that you can shoot, jobs that don't pay well, self-immolation protesters, the yellow media, short fridges without much space, peacefully chilly walks, fuzzed-up carpets, insomnia, the never-ending tasks of cleaning, crap politicians who stay too long, devil-sung folk songs, people who don't know how to walk in a subway, and of course, love and death.
