When Greg Griffin began playing guitar, he couldn’t decide if he wanted to be the next Stevie Ray Vaughan or the next James Taylor. He turned out to be neither. Instead, you’ll find a thoughtful singer songwriter infused with the passion of a blues singer. Playing guitar since the age of 16, his influences range from Eric Clapton and Van Morrison to Tom Petty and Lyle Lovett.
Greg was chosen for the field of 64 artists in CMT’s 2007 Music City Madness video competition, where online votes propelled him into the final 16 in the country. A portion of his video was also included in a TV special about the contest. Greg was featured in an artist showcase presented by the Charlotte Music Awards, and in March of 2008 he appeared on Fox News Rising, the local Charlotte morning show on Fox 18.

Greg Griffin - Join us in congratulating record producer Kim Copeland for her work on the Rachel Williams album, Lonely At The Bottom. Check this great review by R.K. Oermann with Music Row Magazine on Rachel's current single, The Only Thing Harder Than Leaving.
"She has the goods. This creeps up on you with cat’s paws. The languid pace, echoing instruments, spacious production and her hushed, aching delivery are all immensely seductive. The lyric of leaving home is full of terrific details. And her falsetto leaps in the bridge are like little daggers to the heart. A mini masterpiece. This, by the way, is the third single in a row that I have raved about from this performer. "
