Greg Hester was born Louis Gregory Hester in Augusta Georgia. He grew up around Old school Gangsters & Legendary Wrestlers. This lifestyle made a huge impact on this soon to be Soul Man. It was 1968, the air was clean & the music still lives today in his heart.
Greg Hester is... "The Gangsta' of Soul",......
Greg Hester has enough Soul Power to fill Madison Square Garden on a good night. This Augusta, GA native heeded his calling at the ripe old age of three wooing the local bridge club with his riveting version of "Boom Boom Ain't it Great to Be Crazy." And he hasn't slowed down since. After Twenty four years in the business he has perfectly crafted a seamless mix of southern soul and jump up and dance rock n roll. He takes even the most jaded of crowds and captivates them with his charismatic and awe-inspiring voice. He is known for his true conviction that emulates itself in his powerful voice, heartfelt lyrics, and an energy that would rival even the Godfather of Soul himself. Known not only as a singer/songwriter & Producer, Hester is equally at home orchestrating a twelve-piece band. Hester has lent his talents to several well known local bands in Atlanta Georgia including: Unknown 228, Felix Love, Hester's Dictionary, Swift Monkey, Air-Conditioned Gypsys & Strangebirds. His years of hard work and search for perfection have landed him shows with Drivin' N' Cryin', Five For Fighting, Johnny Winter, Warren Zevon, Hank Williams Jr., Commander Cody, Tuck and Patti, David Lindley, Robin Trower, Warren Haynes, and Tower of Power. Currently he is on the road Rockin his heart out. Soul Has No Color. Thank God for digital downloads & Indie labels... Hester's latest release is called "Hustlers, Killers & Thieves", featuring Ivan Neville & The James Brown Band including Fred Wesley, Fred Thomas, Emcee Danny Ray & Legendary Guitarist Keith Jenkins. Produced & recorded in East Nashville, Tn. by Eric McConnell who recorded the Grammy winning Loretta Lynn album "Van Lear Rose" & Produced Todd Snider's latest album "The Devil You Know".
HKT is a mix of Hester's soulful originals & Three JB covers soon to be released on Ropeadope Records This Fall!!!!!
