   About G. Elroy McMullen

I am well traveled musician, trying to make all the music i can. When I am not home in NYC playing pedal steel with Danielle Talamini or Joe Thompson, then i'm busy tearing it up on the road playing telecaster and pedal steel with west coast based Speedbuggy, or traveling through Europe performing the modern guitar compositions of Glenn Branca or supplying textures and heat for Trixie Whitley. Projects that are drastically different, but really fun to be a part of.

Inbetween sleepless nights and airplane flights i can be found tinkering away creating my own music, some of which you are hearing on this site. i will try to change the tunes every few months so check back in a while.

I am available for recording/touring work. Please inquire within.

Recent/Current: Trixie Whitley, Arthur & the Coopers(Me'shell N'degeocello), Paul Ill, Glenn Branca Ensemble, Joe Thompson, Rosie Flores, Speedbuggy, Luba Dvorak, Luke Rathborne, Drive Til Morning, Freeters, Arum Rae, Sean Kershaw and the New Jack Ramblers, (loiter), Danielle Talamini

For The Archives: Chris Whitley, Reeves Gabrels, Twilight Singers(Greg Dulli), Jim Smith, Hula, Jeff London, Teresa Sareo, Nell Bryden, Neil Young, Peter Wolf, Richard McGraw, Andy Friedman and the Other Failures, Bentmen, Tony Lunn, John X, Rio Grande.

Quotes of late:

"McMullen’s a master Telecaster blaster, adept at the multi-string bends, double-stops and rich ‘n’ reedy voice-like tone... an expert on the pedal steel with fluid command of a range that stretches from modernist experimentation with effects and extended technique all the way back to Hank..." -Ted Drozdowski

"Pedal steel player and guitarist, McMullen pours blended whiskey all over his instruments and strikes a match." -Black Angel Promotions

"Greg "Elroy" McMullen, the ultimate utility guitarist providing rhythm, baritone, and the occasional lamenting steel guitar." -Billy Donald (MusicDish.com)

I am supported by:
Ernie Ball/Music Man-guitars and strings
Mesa/Boogie Amplification
Digital Music Corp./Voodoo Labs-midi switching system and pedals
Electro-Harmonix-effect pedals
Z.Vex-effect pedals
DigiTech-signal processing

You, G-Roy, were more than great at the Montreal shows. If any one calls you a "utility" guitarist again, put a diaper on their heads for me.
Trixie Whitley

So did you brotha! I just don't get it-driving freaking trilion miles & killing it on on the guitar solos &being some kind of road manager.
You like the incredible hulk dude , but somebody's got to start changing your diapers now
